A pair of shoes usually sells for $56. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?

You need to find the final price of the shoes before finding the sales tax. Don't find 56 - 35%, that answer will be wrong.

40% = 0.4

56 * 0.4 = 22.4

56 - 22.4 = 33.6

5% = 0.05

33.6 * 0.05 = 1.68

33.6 + 1.68 = 35.28

The total price of the shoes, including tax, is $35.28
