Jaida was grocery shopping for easter dinner, she got 7 lb Spanish serano ham for $50, 5 lbs of russet potatoes for $5 and a bag spinach for $3. If she paid 6% sales tax how much was her total cost after tax?

Respuesta :

Answer: $61.48

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let’s find her cost before tax by adding everything she bought together.

50+5+3=58

Then, find the cost of sales tax.

Convert 6% to a decimal

6/100=0.06

Multiply the total cost by the decimal

58*0.06=3.48

Add the tax and total cost together

58+3.48=61.48

So the total cost with tax is $61.48

Hope this helped!
