Answer 1

A

Explanation:

$45-7% taxes.......

Answer 2

Answer: A. $48.15

Explanation:

To find the total including sales tax, we must ADD the sales tax to the price of the skirt.

So how much is the sales tax for the skirt?

Well,

7% sales tax can be written as a decimal:

.07

We multiply the cost of the skirt by 7% or .07

So, $45 × 7% OR 45×.07

=3.15

Which means that 7% of $45 is $3.15.

Finally we ADD

$45.00 + $3.15

=$48.15
