B) $106.75
C) $120.00
D) $107.60

Answer 1

To find the amount the tax-exempt school group should pay for the educational software, subtract the sales tax from the bill. The group should pay $106.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount the tax-exempt school group should pay, we need to subtract the sales tax from the bill.

First, we convert the sales tax rate of 6% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 6% ÷ 100 = 0.06.

Then, we multiply the bill amount by the sales tax rate to find the amount of sales tax: $113.42 × 0.06 = $6.8052 (rounded to $6.81).

Finally, we subtract the sales tax from the bill amount to find the total amount the group should pay: $113.42 - $6.81 = $106.61 (rounded to $106.75).
