Question

A package of AA batteries cost $3.50 plus an additional 6% tax. What is the price after tax? PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 2

$3.71 is your price after the tax.

Explanation:

First, change the percentage into a decimal:

6% = 0.06

Multiply the decimal with the cost:

3.50 x 0.06 = 0.21

Add the number gotten to the original price:

3.50 + 0.21 = 3.71

$3.71 is your price after the tax.
