Question

Savannah buys a softball for $20 plus a 6% tax. Victoria buys a jacket for $13plus a 6% tax. Enter the difference in the amount Savannah and Victoria paid,including tax. Round your answer to the nearest cent

Answer 1

First, let's calculate how moch did Savannah pay:

`20+20\cdot(6)/(100)\rightarrow21.20`

Now, let's calculate how much did Victoria pay:

`13+13\cdot(6)/(100)\rightarrow13.78`

Subsctracting both amounts,

`21.20-13.78=7.42`

We get that the difference is $7.42
