3. You went to Walmart and spent $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-

taxable items. How much is the FINAL BILL if you apply a 7.5% tax to the taxable items

The FINAL BILL after applying a 7.5% tax to the taxable items is $77.21.

The final bill imposes a 7.5% tax on the taxable items and adds the resulting amount to the non-taxable items.

The total amount for items = $75

The amount of non-taxable items = $45.50

The amount of taxable items = $29.50 ($75 - $45.50)

The rate of tax on the taxable items = 7.5% = 0.075 (7.5/100)

Tax factor = 1.075 (1 + 0.075)

The tax-inclusive amount of the taxable items = $31.71 ($29.50 x 1.075)

The FINAL BILL = $77.21 (45.50 + $31.71)

Thus, we can conclude that the Final Bill is $77.21, tax-inclusive on the taxable items.
