Question

A bookstore has a sale on children’s books today Mr. Peterson purchases books where it’s $176 for his class and there’s a sales sales tax of 2% what is the total amount Mr. Peterson has to pay

Answer 1

Explanation:

To calculate the total amount Mr. Peterson has to pay for the children's books, you need to consider both the cost of the books and the sales tax.

1. Cost of the books: $176

2. Sales tax: 2% of the cost of the books (2% is equivalent to 0.02 as a decimal).

Sales Tax = 0.02 * $176 = $3.52

Now, to find the total amount Mr. Peterson has to pay, simply add the cost of the books and the sales tax:

Total Amount = Cost of the books + Sales Tax

Total Amount = $176 + $3.52

Total Amount = $179.52

So, Mr. Peterson has to pay a total of $179.52.
