Question

Jessica buys a basket of oranges on sale for $12 before tax. The sales tax is 6% What is the total price Jessica pays for the basket of oranges?

Answer 1

Ok, This one is easy. We simply need to times 12 by 0.06 since that is 6% as a decimal. I'll let you do the problem so that I did not simply give it to you.

Answer 2

$12.72 Because 6% of 12 is 12 multiplied by 0.06 = 0.72. Then 12 + 0.72 = $12.72

Hope this helps!!!
