Answer 2

$32.10

Explanation:

If you have sales tax, you would first convert the percentage to decimal, or 0.07. Then you would take this number, and add it to one before you multiply it by the price of the sweatshirt. This makes sure that you're not just calculating the sales tax, but the overall price of the shirt. So if you multiply:

30 x 1.07 = 32.1

Add the units, and you get $32.10

Hope this helps!
