Maya goes to the mall to buy shoes. the shoes that she wants usually cost $42, but they are on sale for 40% less. there is a 5% sales tax, and Maya pays for the shoes with a $50 bill. how much change will Maya receive?

Respuesta :

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
