Answer 2

$43.70 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:

9.25% of 40

In order to find the answer, we will use the formula to calculate percentages, and then add that answer to the initial cost of the item we are buying.


`(p* c)/(100)`

`(9.25*40)/(100) =9.25*40=370/100=3.70`

`=3.70`

Now add:

`40+3.70=43.70`

`=43.70`

Which means after a tax rate of 9.25% the item would cost "$43.70 dollars."

Hope this helps.
