Maya will receive a change of $23.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of shoes = $42
Sale = 40%
Amount of sale = [tex]\frac{40}{100}*42[/tex]
Amount of sale = [tex]\frac{1680}{100}=\$16.80[/tex]
Price after sale = Cost of shoes - Amount of sale
Price after sale = 42 - 16.80 = $25.20
Sales tax = 5%
Amount of sales tax = 5% of price after sale
Amount of sales tax = [tex]\frac{5}{100}*25.20=\frac{126}{100}[/tex]
Amount of sales tax = $1.26
Final price = 25.20+1.26 = $26.46
Amount paid = $50
Change received = Amount paid - final bill
Change received = 50 - 26.46 = $23.54
Maya will receive a change of $23.54
