Question

40. Kaitlin bought $34.40 worth of compact discs. The sales tax is 6.5%. What was the total cost rounded to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

$34.64

Explanation:

Change 6.5% into a decimal. (6.5)/100

Multiply $34.40 by .065. (.065)*(34.40)

Add $34.40 and 2.236. (34.40)+(2.236)

Round 36.636 to the nearest hundredth place.

You have your answer. ($36.64)
