My question is: John needs to replace his shoes so he decides to buy a $150 pair of Nikes and a $120 pair of work boots. Tax is 10%. How much did he pay for everything? Your thoughts:
The shoes cost $150 + $120 = $270. The tax was $270 * .1 = $27. So the total cost was $270 + $27 = $297. The final answer: 297.
