Question

Robert spends $30.45 before tax at the book store. If the sales tax rate in his city is 7.25%, what is the total cost of his purchase?

Answer 1

The total cost of his purchase is $32.66


Turn 7.25% into a decimal which is 0.0725
Multiply 30.45 and 0.0725 which equals 2.21
Add 2.21 and 30.45 which equals 32.66
