Answer:

$18.15

Explanation:

We have been given that in Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 4.6% state sales tax and a 3.65% county sales tax. We are asked to find find total tax paid by Yuki for a handbag whose price is $220.

The total amount of tax would be
4.6\%+3.65\%=8.25\%.

The amount of tax paid by Yuki would be 8.25% of $220.


\text{Tax paid by Yuki}=(8.25)/(100)* \$220


\text{Tax paid by Yuki}=0.0825* \$220


\text{Tax paid by Yuki}=\$18.15

Therefore, Yuki paid an amount of $18.15 for sales tax for her handbag purchase.
