Question

The sales tax rate is 15%. How much will Anna expect to pay for a bunch of bananas that cost $5.26?(Bananas $5.26 plus tax) $6.05$0.30$6.35$6.65

Answer 1

A is the correct option

Anna will expect to pay $6.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Anna is expected to pay $5.26 plus additional 15% of $5.26 on tax, the amount she pays in total is:

$5.26 + (15% of $5.26)

= $5.26 + (0.15)($5.26)

= $5.26 + $0.789

= $6.049

This is approximately $6.05
