Question

If Joe bought $325.00 worth of school supplies and had to pay 15% sales tax. How much did Joe pay after tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $422.25

Step-by-step explanation: We have to find what is 15% of $375.00 so we change the percentage to a decimal so and multiply so .15 X 375.00 = $47.25 so then we already had a bill of 375.00 so we add $375.00 + $47.25 and our grand total is $422.25

Hope this helps!!! And good luck!!!! ;)

Answer 2

Joe pays total
`\bold\$ 373.75\bold`

Solution:

Joe bought school supplies worth
`\$ 325.00`X

He has to pay
`15 \%` of sales tax of the school supplies.

So as tax he has to pay
`(\$ 325 * 15 \%)` =
`\left(\$ 325 * (15)/(100)\right)` =
`(\$ 325 * 15)/(100)`=
`\$ 48.75`

So the total amount Joe need to pay is
`\$ 325` along with the tax
`\$ 48.75`

The total amount need to pay will be
`\bold(\$ 325+\$ 48.75)=\$ 373.75\bold`
