Question

What is the total price charged for goods that cost $7.50 and have a 4% sales tax? $0.30 $7.20 $7.80 $30.00

Answer 1

Turn that percent into a decimal and multiply that by $7.50. 0.04(7.50)=.30. Add that to the original value. 7.50+.30=7.80. It will be $7.80 after a 4% sales tax.

Answer 2

C. $7.80

Explanation:

We are asked to find the total price charged for goods that cost $7.50 and with a 4% sales tax.

The total price of goods would be $7.50 plus 4% of $7.50.

`\text{The total price of goods}=\$7.50+(4)/(100)* \$7.50`

`\text{The total price of goods}=\$7.50+0.04* \$7.50`

`\text{The total price of goods}=\$7.50+\$0.30`

`\text{The total price of goods}=\$7.80`

Therefore, the total price of goods would be $7.80.
