Answer:

$34.50

$1.01

Explanation:

For these two problems, you must find a percent of a number. Since percentages can easily be turned into decimals, this is easy to do. First, turn the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal point two to the left; so, 6.25% becomes 0.0625. Then, multiply this number by the cost, 32.47. Finally add that, 2.02, to the cost to get the final answer, $34.50. For the next question do the same. Turn the percent into a decimal and then multiply that by the cost to get the total tax, $1.01.
