Question

Jane’s grocery receipt is shown. If the sales tax on these items is 6.25%, what is the amount of sales tax? Round to the nearest cent. Turkey- 21.55 Turkey gravy-2.25 Stuffing-3.89 Peas-1.95

Answer 1

hi

amount before tax :

21.55+2.25+3.89+1.95 = 26.94

as sales tax is 6.25 /100 = 0.0625

then amount of tax is : 26.94 *0.0625 ≈ 1.68
