Question

9.) In a state with a sales tax of 7%, Hernando

spends a total of $73.98. What is the final price
after tax that Hernando has to pay? Show work.

Answer 1

Final price = $79.16

Explanation:

Given that:

Sales tax in the state = 7%

Amount spent by Hernando = $73.98

Amount of sales tax = 7% of 73.98

Amount of sales tax =
`(7)/(100)*73.98`

Amount of sales tax = 0.07 * 73.98

Amount of sales tax = $5.18

Final price = 73.98 + 5.18 = $79.16

Hence,

Final price = $79.16
