Question

I DONT UNDERSTAND Julio bought a backpack for 39$ and 2 belts for 17$ each the sales tax is 6%. How much did Julio spend for all items including tax??

A-$59.64 C-$77.38

B-$63.00 D-$89.01

Answer 1

C. $77.38

Explanation:

Items + tax = total

Items × .06 = tax

OR

Items × 1.06 = total

39 + 17 + 17 = 73

73 × .06 = 4.38

73 + 4.38 = 77.38

OR

73 × 1.06 = 77.38

Answer 2

Answer: C

Steps:

39+17+17=73

73x0.06=4.38

4.38+73=77.38

Add the sales tax to price without tax
