Question

Ms. Frank purchased notebooks for $12.57 before tax. If the sales tax on her purchase was 6%, how much money should Ms. Frank have to pay for the notebooks in total.

Answer 1

$13.32

Explanation:

To find the tax, convert the percentage to decimal form and get 0.06. Multiply 0.06 by 12.57 to get 0.7542. Add this to 12.57 to get 13.3242. When rounded to the nearest hundredths place this becomes $13.32
