Question

The bill dinner cans at 43.76 before tax. If 6.5% tax is added to the bill, what will the final total be?

Answer 1

$46.60

Explanation:

To solve this problem you would multiply $43.76 by 6.5%. Multiply 43.76 by 0.065 (move the decimal point twice to the left).

43.76 * 0.065 = 2.8444

Add this amount to the bill before tax.

43.76 + 2.8444 = 46.6044

Round this number to the nearest hundredth because we are working with money.

$46.60 is the final total.
