Question

The sales tax in Sandra's town is 6.5%. If she buys 2 shirts for $23.99 each and a pair of shoes for $41.99, how much sales tax does she owe?

4.68

5.84

7.85

5.12

Answer 1

5.84

Explanation:

She has two shirts and their 23.99 each

23.99 x 2 = 47.98

Then she has a pair shoes that cost 41.99

Add

47.98 + 41.99 = 89.97

6.5% = 0.065

89.97 x 0.065 = 5.84
