Question

The sales tax in Arizona is 7.5%. The price tag on a T-shirt in Arizona says $11.50. What will the customer pay, in total dollars, for the shirt when they checkout? Round your answer to the nearest cent (hundredth).

Answer 1

we need to add the price of the shirt and the tax for this

the price is 11.50 and the tax is the price multiply by 0.075

so

`\begin{gathered} 11.50+(11.50*0.075) \\ 11.50+(0.8625) \\ =12.3625 \end{gathered}`

rounding the answer the total price is $12.36
