Solution

The correct option is C 7.5$
Step 1: Find the discounted price of shoes
Discount percentage = 25%
Discounted price of the product $= (100 - 25)$ % of $ $200 = 75$ % of $ $200$
$= \frac{75}{100} \times 200$

$=$ $ $150$

Step 2: Sales tax of 5% is inclued in the $ $150$
$∴$ Sale tax paid $= \frac{5}{100} \times 150$
$=$ $ $7.5$
Sam paid a tax of 7.5$.
