Question

Kelly has 138.26 in her bank account.She purches a new table for 124, plus 8% sales tax.How much is in her bank account after the purchase

Answer 1

$4.34 Left over.

Explanation:

Step 1- Total cost of table with tax

8% or .08 is the tax value we need to find out. To do that we take the total price of the table times the .08 to find out the sales tax.

$124.00 x .08= $9.92 (Sales Tax)

Then we add the sales tax amount to the purchase price of the table

$124.00 + $9.92= $133.92 (Total price paid for the table)

Step 2- How much money is left over.

We take the total price paid for the table and subtract that from the amount that is in Kelly’s bank account. This will give you the money that is left over in her account.

$138.26 - $133.92= $4.34 (left in account after table purchase)
