Question

A new basketball is priced at $35.00 at a sporting goods store. If there is a 9% sales tax, what is the final cost of the basketball?

Answer 1

$38.15

Explanation:

35 times .09 = $3.15

35 plus 3.15 is 38.15

Answer 2

Hello!

First you have to turn 9% into a decimal

9% = 0.09

Multiply this by the price of the basketball

35 * 0.09 = 3.15

Add this to the price of the basketball

35 + 3.15 = 38.15

The answer is $38.15

Hope this helps!
