Question

a store sells a bicycle tube for $21.00 and a tire patch kit for $9.00 the tax rate is 7% how much would it cost to purchase both

Answer 1

Cost to purchase both = $32.10

Explanation:

Step 1: Add 21 and 9 to determine the price without the tax:

Adding 21 and 9 will show us the cost of buying both items before the tax is applied:

Price before tax = 21 + 9

Price before tax = 30

Thus, the price before the tax is applied is $30.

Step 2: Multiply 30 and 0.07 to determine the tax amount:

• Note that 7% as a decimal is 0.07.

Multiplying 30 and 0.07 will show us the tax amount:

Tax amount = 0.07 * 30

Tax amount = 2.10

Thus, the tax amount is $2.10.

Step 3: Add 2.10 and 30 to determine the final price:

Adding 2.10 and 30 will show us the final price to purchase both items:

Final price = 2.10 + 30

Final price = 32.10

Thus, it would cost $32.10 to purchase both items.
