Answer 2

Answer:

$43.70 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

9.25% of 40

In order to find the answer, we will use the formula to calculate percentages, and then add that answer to the initial cost of the item we are buying.

$\frac{p\times c}{100}$
$\frac{9.25\times40}{100} =9.25\times40=370\div100=3.70$
$=3.70$

Now add:
$40+3.70=43.70$
$=43.70$

Which means after a tax rate of 9.25% the item would cost "$43.70 dollars."

Hope this helps.
