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]
