The Fibonnacis bought new shoes for the Little League team. They found the shoes at a 25% off sale. The shoes originally cost $28.95.
a) How much did they save on each pair?
b) How much did they pay for each pair?
c) What was the total cost for ten pairs of shoes?
d) Sales tax is 7.5%. How much was the tax on the ten pairs of shoes?
Here is how you do it:
28.95 x .25 = x
x = the amount they saved on each pair
28.95 - x = y
y = the amount they paid for each pair
y x 10 = z
z = the total cost for 10 pair
z x .075 = the amount of tax
