Answer 1

$20*1.05= $21 the total amount Olga paid for the skirt

Answer 2

21

Explanation:

Sales tax is equal to the price times the sales tax rate

Sales tax = price * 5%

= 20 *.05

= 1.00

The total price is equal to the original price plus the sales tax

total price = price + sales tax

= 20+1

=21
