Answer:52.17

Step-by-step explanation: You go to your calculator and type 7% × 48.81

Answer 2

$48.81 x 0.07 = 3.4167

$48.81 + $3.4167 = $52.2267

$52.23

Explanation:

The shirt cost $48.81, and the sales tax is 7%. First convert the 7% into a decimal and you get 0.07, and then multiply that to the $48.81. You get left with $3.4167 and then add that to the $48.81 to get $52.2267. But, you have to shorten the numbers to make it look like money by simplifing. So the total is $52.23.
