Question

My shoes were only $49.50 but I also had to pay the 4% tax. What was the tax?

Answer 1

$51.48

Explanation:

To find overall price, we need to multiple the original price by 1.04 since the sales tax is 4% or .04. Let x equal the total.

x=49.50*1.04

Multiply the two numbers.

x=51.48

The total price is $51.48
