Answer 1

Hello there! First off, we need to add up the prices of the items he bought. 34.50 + 29.95 is 64.45. Now, to find the sales tax for his purchase, all we have to do is multiply the combined cost of the two items by the sales tax rate. 64.45 * 7.5% (0.075) is 4.83375 or 4.83 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. Rodney paid $4.83 tax on his purchase.
