Answer 1

Explanation:

The sales tax rate is 5%. Writing that as a decimal, you have 5% = 0.05 (5 hundredths).

To find the amount of tax, multiply the price by 0.05.

0.05 x 55 = 2.75

The sales tax is $2.75.

The total cost of the shirt ("total" is a clue word) is the price + tax

$55.00 + $2.75 = $57.75

Answer 2

The sales tax is $2.75, making the total cost $57.75.
