Solving for the price of a $104.95 pair of shoes with 30% discount, after 2% taxes
First, we have to calculate the 70% of the original value (30% discount). Then, we calculate the 2% of that value (70% of $104.95) and add it up, as following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 104.95\times\frac{70}{10}=73.47 \\ 73.47\times\frac{2}{100}=1.47 \\ 73.47+1.47=74.94 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the retail price of the shoes, with 30% discount and after 2% taxes, would be 74.94
