Question

Shirts cost $9.00 each. There is a 9% sales tax. If Mrs. Meagher buys three shirts, how

much is the total cost including tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $29.43

Step-by-step explanation: 3 shirts for $9 each adds up to $27. 9%= 0.09 so you can multiply the cost of the shirts by 1.09 because that is the base price plus the sales tax. Then you get $29.43.
