27. You purchase 9.25 gallons of gasoline at $3.15/gallon. You also buy gum ($1.10) and windshield wiper fluid ($4.97). The state has a food tax of 4% and you give the clerk $30.00 cash. You pay the rest with your debit card. How much is charged to your debit card?

A) $35.21
B) $5.21
C) $35.25
D) $5.25

Answer 1

The answer is D.
First calculate the gum price and add the tax since it is the only item that is taxed.
Gum 1.10*1.04= 1.14
Gas 9.25*3.15=29.14
Wiper fluid = 4.97
Add = 35.25
Paid cash $30.00
Remainder $5.25
