1) Intro

Answer 1

Answer:

$27.83

Step-by-step explanation:

(Original Price)(Tax Percent) = Amount

Remember to turn the percent into decimal form first!

(26.50)(0.05) = 1.325

Do not round the results until you are done solving the problem!

(Original Price) + (Amount Tax) = $$

(26.50) + (1.325) = 27.825

Round the results now!

$27.83
