Question

Mir. Ray is buying some groceries. They total to $35.50. Sales tax is 4.5%. When she goes to pay, how much will she owe?

Answer 1

$37.10

Step-by-step explanation

Pre- tax = $35.50

Sales tax = 4.5% of $35.50 = 4.5/100 x $35.50 = $1.5975

∴ Mrs Ray will owe $35.50 + $ 1.5975

= $37.0975

= $37.10 (2 decimal places)
