Question

Mrs. Stephan took her children to pick out pumpkins. Carter picked out a pumpkin priced $20, and

Isabelle picked out a pumpkin priced at $13. How much did Mrs. Stephan pay for both pumpkins, including
7% sales tax?

Answer 1

$35.31

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to find the total cost of the pumpkins (including tax).

We know that Carter picked a $20 pumpkin, while Isabelle picked a $13 pumpkin.

We also know that the sales tax is 7%

To get your answer, we would add the prices of the pumpkin and find the tax price to get our final answer.

Find the total cost:

20 + 13 = 33

Since the sales tax is 7%, we would multiply 33 by 1.07:

33 · 1.07 = 35.31

Mrs. Stephan paid $35.31 for the pumpkins and sales tax.
