Answer 1

$370.62

Explanation:

Ken spends $344.76 before tax at a hardware store. If the sales tax rate in his city is 7.5%, what is the total cost of his purchase? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

7.5% = 0.075

0.075 * $344.76 = $25.857 in tax so:

cost + tax

$344.76 + $25.857 = $370.617

rounded: $370.62
