Answer 2

The price of jeans = $89

The sales tax rate = 11%

So first we have to find 11% of $89.

11% of 89 = 89 × (11/100) = (89×11)/100 = 979/100 = 9.79

We have got the sales tax amount = $9.79

So price of jeans = $89 and sales tax = $9.79

The total amount Rita paid for jeans = $(89+9.79) = $98.79

So we have got the required answer.

The total amount Rita paid for jeans = $98.79.
