Question

Jamal bought a computer game for $47.75 and a printer cartridge for $28.39. The sales tax on his purchase was 8.5%. He paid with a $100 bill. Rounded to the nearest penny, how much change did Jamal receive back from the cashier?

Answer 1

$17,39

Explanation:

47.75+28.39=76,14

Jamal spend $76,14 but we have to add the 8.5% of sales tax

76.16*0.085=6,4719

Jamal spend 76,14+6,4719=82,61$

if he payed with 100 then he received back from the cashier

100-82,61=17,39$
