Answer:The total price of the shoes, including tax is $38.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the pair of shoes is $60. If the shoes are 40% off, it means that it was reduce by an amount. The amount by which the original price of the shoe was reduced would be

40/100 * 60 = 0.4 * 60 = $24

The discounted price would be

60 - 24 = $36

Since there is a sales tax of 8%, the value of the sales tax would be

8/100 * 36 = 0.08 * 36 = $2.88

The total price of the shoes, including tax would be

36 + 2.88 = $38.88
