Answer 1

Option B. $37.45

Explanation:

Dwayne lives in New Jersey and pays 7% in sales tax.

He just bought a dress shirt that cost = $35.00

Total amount including sales tax = 35 + ( 7% × 35 )

= 35 + ( 0.07 × 35 )

= 35 + 2.45

= $37.45

Dwayne paid the total amount $37.45 for the dress shirt.
