Question

If you are buying at item at a store for a price of $61, and there is a 6.7% tax added on top, what would be the total amount due at the register, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

The total amount due at the register will be: $65.09

Explanation:

The cost of an item = $61

tax on item = 6.7%

The tax amount = 6.7% × 61

= 0.067 × 61

= $ 4.09

The total cost = cost of an item + tax amount

= $61 + $4.09

= $65.09

Therefore, the total amount due at the register will be: $65.09
