Question

HELPPP I NEED THE ANSWER FAST PLEASEEE Shirley is buying a $27 scarf. If the sales tax is 7.25% and she hands the cashier $30, how much change will she get back? YOU GET 86 POINTS FOR ANSWERING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE A C- IN MATH

Answer 1

Answer: $1.04

Explanation:

Cost of scarf = $27

sales tax = 7.25% of 27 = $1.9575 (round to $1.96)

Total cost = 27 + 1.96 = $28.96

$30.00 - $28.96 = $1.04 change

Answer 2

Hi, I think the answer should be $4.26

7.25% × $24 = $1.74

$24 +1.74 = $25.74

Change is the difference between the amount tendered and this total amount:

$30.00 -25.74 = $4.26
