Question

1 A customer in Kentucky orders a box of 25 small bags of Zollipops for $56.00. Kentucky's sales tax is 6%. What's the total cost?

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \cos t=56\text{ dollaras} \\ \text{tax}=6\text{ percent} \\ \text{hence, in money it is} \\ 56(\frac{6}{100})=56\cdot(0.06)=3.36\text{ dollars} \\ \text{Therefore, the total cost is} \\ 56+3.36=59.36\text{ dollars} \end{gathered}$
