Answer 1

The cost of skirt in all is $48.66.

Explanation:

Given:

Gabi finds a skirt that she likes at the store for $45.99.

If the tax rate is 5.8%.

Now, to find the cost of skirt in all.

Cost price = $45.99.

Tax rate = 5.8%.

Now, to get the cost of skirt in all:

$45.99 + 5.8% of $45.99.

`=45.99+(5.8)/(100) * 45.99`

`=45.99+0.058* 45.99`

`=45.99+2.67`

`=\$48.66.`

Therefore, the cost of skirt in all is $48.66.
