Answer:
$9.10 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price of the shoes is $6.50, so we want to add 40% to that. There are two ways to do this.
Method 1:
Find 40% of 6.50, and add it to 6.50.
[tex]6.5*0.4= 2.6\\6.5+2.6=9.1[/tex]
Method 2:
Multiply 6.5 by 1.4 (including the original percent of 100 and adding 40 percent to it)
[tex]6.5*1.4=9.1[/tex]
