Question

Gabriella buys a basketball for $78 and a soccer ball for $32. She must pay 8.5% sales tax. What is the total amount she must pay

Answer 1

Explanation:

Cost before tax = $78 + $32 = $110

Tax = 8.5% of $110 = 0.085 x $110 = $9.35 (
`8.5\%=(8.5)/(100) =0.085`)

Total cost = $110 + $9.35 = $119.35
