Question

If a purchase subtotal is $52.02,what will the final total be after asales tax rate of 4.75% is applied?

Answer 1

$52.02 -----> 100%

x --------------> 4.75%

`\begin{gathered} (100)/(4.75)=(52.02)/(x) \\ (x100)/(4.75)=(52.02)/(x)x \\ x=52.02*(4.75)/(100) \\ x=2.47 \end{gathered}`

then the final total is:

$52.02 + $2.47 = $54.49
