Answer 1

Alice Correa bought three yards of cloth to make a dress. The cloth was on sale for $1.93 per yard. Alice paid $6.08 for the cloth if the sales tax was 5%. 3 * $1.93 = $5.79 $5.79 * 5/100 = $5.79 * 0.05 = $0.29 $5.79 + $0.29 = $6.08

Answer 2

1.93x3=5.79 but were not done because you need to add tax. So simply multiply 5.79 by 0.5 which equals .2895 round to the nearest cent so .29 then add .29 to 5.79 6.08.
The .05 is the tax % because you always have to remember that a tax % out of 100 is . then whatever % if it's a single number like 1 or 2 then it's like.01 or .02 hen multiply by the full amount. But that isn't the final answer because that is the tax amount. So add it back to the full number. That's how I found the answer.
The answer is 6.08
