Christa went shopping for back-to-school clothes. Before the tax was added on, her total was $176. If the sales tax is 6%, what was the total amount she paid?

Answer:

$176·1.06 = $186.56

Therefore, the total amount that Christa paid was $186.56.

First, you multiply 176 by the discount 6% or 0.06

176 * 0.06= 10.56
$10.56 represents the number that needs to be added to get the total

176+10.56= 186.56

So Christ spent $186.56 on back to school clothes
