Question

Nachelle goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $8.10. A sales tax of 4%

was added on. Nachelle tipped 17% on the amount after the sales tax was added. How
much was the sales tax? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$0.32 cents

Explanation:

Given the following question:

4% of $8.10

To find the question we use the formula for calculating percentages.


`(t* i)/(100)`

`(4*8.1)/(100)=4*8.1=32.4/100=0.324`

`0.324`
Round the nearest cent:

`0.324`

`4<5`

`0.32`

The sales tax was "$0.32 cents."

Hope this helps.
