Given the table showing the Sale Amounts and the Sales Tax of 5%, you need to rewrite the percent as a decimal number by dividing it by 100:
[tex]\frac{5\text{\%}}{100}=0.05[/tex]
By analyzing the table, you can write the following formula in order to find each Total Amount Paid (in dollars):
[tex]TotalAmountPaid=SaleAmount+\left(SaleAmount\right)\left(0.05\right)[/tex]
Therefore, by substituting the corresponding values into the formula and evaluating, you get:
- For $67.50, you get:
[tex]TotalAmountPaid=67.50+\lparen67.50)\left(0.05\right)=70.88[/tex]
- For $98.75, you get:
[tex]TotalAmountPaid=98.75+\left(98.75\right)\left(0.05\right)\approx103.69[/tex]
- For $399.79, you get:
[tex]TotalAmountPaid=399.79+\left(399.79\right)\left(0.05\right)=419.78[/tex]
- For $1,250.00, you get:
[tex]TotalAmountPaid=1250.00+\left(1250.00\right)\left(0.05\right)=1312.50[/tex]
- For $12,500.00, you get:
[tex]TotalAmountPaid=12500.00+\lparen12500.00)\left(0.05\right)=13125.00[/tex]
Hence, the answer is:
