Question

Muhammad buys a toy for $18 plus a 9% tax. Alexander buys a hat for $15 plus a 9% tax. Enter the difference in the amount Muhammad and Alexander paid, including tax. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.27

Step-by-step explanation:

109% of the cost is to be paid

109% = 1.09

Muhammad: 1.09(18) = 19.62

Alexander: 1.09(15) = 16.35

19.62 - 16.35 = 3.27
