Question

Darcy wants to buy a new skirt. The price of the skirt is $35.00 and 7% sales tax will be added to the price. Darcy has $40.00 to spend. How much money will Darcy have left after paying for the skirt and the sales tax?

Answer 1

The value of the skirt with a tax is
$35.00 + ($35.00 x 0.07) = $37.45
He has $40.00 and his change will be
$40.00 - $37.45 = $2.55
