Question

Benita buys 2 shirts for the same price s the taxe sale rate is 6.5%​

Answer 1

2.13s

and

2s+0.13s

Explanation:

Because 2 shirts is s and 6.5 per cent would turn into 6.5 because of 2 times 1.065 is 0.13 which is the answer for part 2

Answer 2

2s + 0.13s

2.13s

Explanation:

One shirt costs s.

2 shirts cost 2s.

The tax rate is 6.5%, so the tax on 2s is 0.065 × 2s = 0.13s

The total cost with tax is 2s + 0.13s

You can also find the total cost by realizing that since the tax is 6.5%, the total price with tax is 1.065 times the cost, so you can write it as 1.065 × 2s = 2.13s

Answer:

2s + 0.13s

2.13s
