Alex is buying a watch that costs $39. He lives in a state that adds a 5.5% sales tax to non-food purchases. Watches are not food, so he will be paying the tax.

Answer:

About 2.15

Explanation:

You can do5.5/100 x 39 to get this.

5.5 divided by 100 is 550, times 39 is 2.145, round it to get 2.15

(So add 2 dollars 15 cents to $39 :D)
