Answer 1

Answer:

$3.13

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you mean the tax rate is 4.4%. Then the tax on $3 is ...

... tax = (tax rate) × (item cost)

... = 4.4/100 × 3.00 = 4.4 × .03 = 0.132 ≈ 0.13

The amount paid is ...

... amount paid = tax + item cost = $0.13 +3.00

... amount paid = $3.13
