Question

some friends went to a conveinence store to buy snacks to watch a home baseball game the cost of snacks was $87.62 and also 3% for tax, how much was the total price of the bill_____

Answer 1

To find the total price of the bill, convert 3% to a decimal (0.03), multiply it by the cost ($87.62) to get the tax ($2.6286), round to the nearest cent ($2.63), and add the tax to the original cost to get the total price ($90.25).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total price of the bill including tax, you need to find out how much the 3% tax will add to the original cost of $87.62.

First, convert the tax rate from a percentage to a decimal:

3% = 0.03

Next, multiply the decimal form of the tax rate by the original cost to find the amount of tax:

0.03 × $87.62 = $2.6286

Round the tax amount to the nearest cent:

$2.6286 ≈ $2.63

Now, add the tax to the original cost to get the total price of the bill:

$87.62 + $2.63 = $90.25

So, the total price of the snacks including tax is $90.25.
