What are two ways to find the total cost of a pair of shoes for $57 with a sales tax of 2%?

Here is one of the ways, first you are going to convert the 2% into a fraction.

2% = 0.02

Next we are going to multiply 0.02 * 57 = 1.14

Now we are going to add 1.14 to 57 to find the total cost with including the tax.

1.14 + 57 = 58.14

= $ 58.14
