Question

Ivan bought two magazines for $4.95 each. If the sales tax was 6.75% what was the total amount that he paid for the magazines?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the total sale price for the magazines were

2×4.95 = $9.90

so,

100% = 9.9

1% = 100%/100 = 9.9/100 = 0.099

6.75% = 6.75×1% = 6.75×0.099 = 0.66825 ≈ $0.67

so, he paid in total

$9.90 + $0.67 = $10.57
