Shoes cost $80 they are discounted at 40% off. The tax is 6.75%. What is the final cost of the shoes.

You have to turn the percent into a decimal to do the math.

80 *.40 = 32 (That's the discount.) Now we subtract the orginal price from this.

80 - 32 = 48

Now we need to find the tax value.

48 (our new price) *.0675 = $3.24

Add this back onto the price to get our final price.

3.24 + 48 = $51.24
