Question

If the subtotal (the cost of all the items bought) is $110.00, what is the sales tax if the rate is 8.25%?$8.25$9.08 $9.09 $8.95

Answer 1

Total cost = $110.00

Sales tax percentage = 8.25%

Sales tax = 8.25% of Total cost

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Sales tax = }(8.25)/(100)\text{ x \$110} \\ \text{Sales tax = }(907.5)/(100) \\ \\ \text{Sales tax = \$9.075 }\approx\approx\text{ \$9.08 ( 2 decimal places)} \end{gathered}`

The answer is $9.08
