Answer 2

Answer: The total price that Michael pays is $4.48.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Price of a basket of mangoes = $4

Rate of sales tax = 12%

So, Amount of sales tax would be

`(12)/(100)* 4\\\\=0.12* 4\\\\=\$0.48`

So, the total price of basket of mangoes is given by

`\$4+\$0.48\\\\=\$4.48`

Hence, the total price that Michael pays is $4.48.
