Question

6. Tax: If sales tax is figured at 7.25%, how
much tax will be added to the total purchase
price of three textbooks, priced at $25.00,
$35.00, and $52.00?

Answer 1

Answer:

$8.12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Looking at the question

The question says tax will be added to the total purchase price, so not each of them individually.

Prices: $25, $35, $52

Tax rate: 7.25%

2. Solving

$25+35+52=112$

Percent to decimal = x/100

$7.25$÷$100=0.0725$

$0.0725$·$112=8.12$ (this is the tax)
