Question

A shop sells milk for $2.50

a litre. This includes a tax of 27%.
How much is a litre of milk without tax?

Answer 1

$1.83 (rounded)

Explanation:

27% = 0.27

2.50 x 0.27 = 0.675

2.50 + 0.676 = 1.825

Round 1.825 to the nearest hundredth which gives you 1.83. So therefore, a litre of milk without tax is $1.83. Hope this helps!
