Answer 1

Answer: $5.40

Sales tax is a price you add to every 100 cents purchased.

Sally purchased a shirt of 5.00, and New York's sales tax is 8.200.

So, we multiply 8 by 5. We get the number 40, right?

You now add 0.40 to 5.00.

The answer totals at 5.40 because 5.00 + 0.40 = 5.40.

Hope this helps you out!
