Answer: $41.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The sales tax rate = 7.25 = 0.0725 [Divide by 100 to convert in decimal]
The cost of a pair of shoes = $39.00
Tax amount to pay = Tax rate × Cost of a pair of shoes
\(=0.0725\times39=2.8275\approx2.83\text{ [Rounded to nearest cent]}\)
Now, the total amount you pay for a pair of shoes = Cost of a pair +Tax amount
= $39.00+$2.83=$41.83
Hence, you would pay $41.83 .
