Question

Rick bought 3 shirts for $18.75 each, 2 pair of socks for $3.99 a pair, and a pair of slacks for $45.00. The

sales tax rate is 6.75%. How much did he pay?

Answer 1

3 shirt=3×$18.75

=56.25

2 pair shocks =3.99×2

=8

1 pair slacks=45.00

total=109.25

tax=6.75% then;

109.25+6.25%×109.25

109.25+6.25/100×109.25

109.25+0.0625×109.25

109.25+6.28

116.07
