Question

Alex buys a hat for $45 and a pair of sunglasses for $97.50. If the sales tax is 8%, what is the total price Alex pays for the items?

HELP PLS

Answer 1

153.90

Explanation:

Add up the items first:

45 + 97.50 = 142.50

Now multiply by 0.08, which is the same as 8%, to calc the sales tax:

142.50 X 0.08 = 11.40

now add them up:

142.50 + 11.40 = 153.90
