Question

Omar went back to school shopping and bought a shirt for $28.75 and a pair of pants for $19.25. He paid 8% in sales tax. How much did Omar spend on the shirt and pants after tax?

Answer 1

%9.66

Explanation:

$28.75-$19.25=9.50

9.50-8%=9.66

Answer 2

First add 28.75 and 19.25. Now you have 48. Now add 8 percent sales tax on 48. Change 8 to a decimal so 0.08. Multiply 48x0.08. Now you have 3.84. Add 48+3.84 and you get 51.84. Your final answer is $51.84 :)
