Question

Chase found new pants for $35.55 plus 7.5% tax. What is the final price of the new pants?

Answer 1

$38.22

Explanation:

7.5% of $35.55 = $2.66625

= $2.67

$35.55 + 2.67 = $38.22 after tax

Answer 2

$38.22

Explanation:

Given the following question:

7.5% of 35.55

To find the answer we must first find 7.5% of 35.55 using the formula to calculate percentages, and then we add that answer to the current price of the pants.


`(p* n)/(100)`

`(7.5*35.55)/(100)`

`7.5*35.55=266.625`

`266.625/100=2.66625`

`=2.66625`

Round the answer to the nearest cent:

`2.66625`

`6 > 5`

`=2.67`

7.5% of 35.55 is "$2.67."

Now we add the answer to the current price:

`35.55`

`35.55+2.67=38.22`

`=38.22`

The cost of the new pants after a 7.5% tax is "$38.22."

Hope this helps.
