Question

April bought a jacket on sale for $39.95. The sales tax rate was 7.5% determine her after tax total

Answer 1

Her after tax total is $42.95

Her, we want to calculate the after tax total

Mathematically, that would be the price of the Jacket plus the tax rate of the Jacket

We can have this as;

$\begin{gathered} 39.95\text{ + 7.5\% of 39.95} \\ \\ =\text{ 39.95 + (}\frac{7.5}{100}\times39.95) \\ \\ =\text{ 39.95 + 2.99625} \\ \\ =\text{ 42.94625 which is \ 42.95} \end{gathered}$
