Answer 2

Yuki paid $18.15 sales tax on purchasing a hand bag of $220.

Explanation:

Given:

Price of handbag = $220

State Sales tax = 4.6%

Country Sales tax = 3.65%

Amount paid in State Sales tax = Percent State sales tax
`*` Price of handbag =
`(4.6)/(100)* 220 = 0.046* 220 = \$10.12`

Amount paid in Country Sales tax = Percent Country sales tax
`*` Price of handbag =
`(3.65)/(100)* 220 = 0.0365* 220 = \$8.03`

Hence Total Amount paid in sales Tax = Amount paid in State Sales tax + Amount paid in Country Sales tax =
`\$10.12+\$8.03 = \$18.15`

Yuki paid $18.15 as Sales tax on purchasing a hand bag of $220.
