Question

You go to the outlet mall with a friend and buy a jacket for $49.00 and new Vans for $55.00. Sales tax in Texas is 8.25%. How much did you spend on these two items after tax? *

Answer 1

Amount spent after sales tax = $112.58

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of jacket = $49.00

Cost of new Vans = $55.00

Total spent = 49.00 + 55.00 = $104.00

Sales tax = 8.25%

Amount of sales tax =
`(8.25)/(100)*104`

Amount of sales tax = $8.58

Total after sales tax = 104.00 + 8.58 = $112.58

Hence,

Amount spent after sales tax = $112.58
