Answer 2

$1.25

Explanation:

Given: the cost of the shopping trip is $25.00

They want us to find the tax amount at 5%.

Saying that we need to find the 5% of the $25.00.

Convert 5% to 0.05, then take it times 25.

$25 x 0.05 = $1.25

That should give you the 5% of the $25.

If you add $25.00 and the $1.25 together, it should give you $26.25, included with the tax.
