l-ReadySolve Percent Problems, Part 3Quiz - Level GGiovanni orders a pastry from the bakery. The price of the pastry before tax is $4.50.Giovanni wants to know the total price including a 10% sales tax.

Answer 1

The price before tax is $4.50 and the tax is %10, then the tax is

`\begin{gathered} \text{tax}=4.50*(10)/(100) \\ \text{tax}=0.45 \end{gathered}`

then, the total price is the sum of the tax and the price before the tax, that is,

`\begin{gathered} \text{total price}=4.50+0.45 \\ \text{total price = 4.95} \end{gathered}`

then, the total price is $4.95 and the tax is $0.45
