Question

Zoe bought a backpack for $10.77, a notebook for $2.09, and a eraser for $0.75. If the sales tax on each of the items is 7%, what is the total amount Zoe must pay for the items including tax?

A) $14.56
B) $13.61
C) $12.86
D) $11.72

Answer 1

10.77(0.07) + 10.77 = $11.52

2.09(0.07) + 2.09 = $2.24

0.75(0.07) + 0.75 = $0.80

Add all of these up, and you get your total of A.) $14.56
