Question

$27.99 shoes ; 7 1/2 tax find the total cost or sale price to the nearest cent

Answer 1

27.99x.075= 2.09925 or 2.10 Rounded
27.99+2.10= $30.09

Answer 2

$The total cost or sale price = $30.09

Explanation:

The total cost or sale price is the absolute price of a commodity including the given tax.

From the question given, the tax is
`7(1)/(2)`% of the price. So that;

Tax =
`7(1)/(2)`% × 27.99

= 0.075 × 27.99

= 2.09925

∴ Tax = $2.09925

The total cost or sale price = price + tax

= $27.99 + $2.09925

= $30.08925

The total cost or sale price = $30.09
