Answer:

$118.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Always convert the percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal two points to the right/dividing by 100. So 7.5 % = 0.075

110 x 0.075 = 8.25 (the amount of tax added)

110 + 8.25 = 118.25

You can also multiply 110 by 1.075, where the "1" is the $110 and the ".075" is the tax, and save the step of adding. 110 x 1.075 = 118.25
