Question

Vicky made some purchases at the Sunflower Market. She bought strawberries for $3.50, carrots for $2.25, and a bouquet of flowers for $9.95. If the sales tax is 5%, what will she pay altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

$16.49

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount spent

= $3.50 + $2.25 + $9.95

= $15.70

given sales tax = 5%

amount paid in taxes =

5% x $15.70

= (5/100) x $15.70

= $0.785

= $0.79 ( 2 dec pl.)

total amount paid = $15.70 + $0.79 = $16.49
