Question

Dave buys a basketball for 15$ plus 8% tax, James buys a football for 20$ plus a 8% tax, enter the difference in the dave and James paid including tax.

Answer 1

Answer: $5.40

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the tax for each purchase and then find the total amount paid by Dave and James.

For Dave:

Basketball cost = $15

Tax = 8% of $15 = 0.08 * 15 = $1.20

Total amount paid by Dave = Cost + Tax = $15 + $1.20 = $16.20

For James:

Football cost = $20

Tax = 8% of $20 = 0.08 * 20 = $1.60

Total amount paid by James = Cost + Tax = $20 + $1.60 = $21.60

Now, let's find the difference between the amounts paid by Dave and James.

Difference = Amount paid by James - Amount paid by Dave = $21.60 - $16.20 = $5.40

So, the difference in the amounts paid by Dave and James, including tax, is $5.40.
