Math Problem Statement

Claire's cousin, Sara, lives in a different state with a 5% sales tax rate. Sara found the same pair of shoes discounted 40% from a regular price of $67.00. If Sara bought the shoes, who paid the lower total cost? Justify your answer.

Solution

The two images you uploaded contain math questions related to a comparison of sales transactions involving discounted shoes. Let's break them down:

First Image:

Sara finds a pair of shoes that are discounted by 40% from a regular price of $67. The sales tax rate in her state is 5%, and you are asked to compare the total costs when Sara buys the shoes.

Second Image:

Claire is buying shoes with a 35% discount off a marked price of $64.99. The image provides additional information for different parts of the question, which seem to be related to calculating the price after discounts and tax.
