Answer:
$3.24
Explanation:
You would first have to figure out the cost of each notebook with tax so you would divide 40.66 by 3
40.66/3 = 13.55
So each notebook costs $13.55 with tax. Now, I multiplied 13.55 by 0.08. I would multiply it by 0.08 because 8% in decimal form is 0.08.
13.55*0.08 = 1.08
I got the answer 1.08. 1.08 is the tax for each notebook so I would multiply it by 3 to figure out the total tax.
1.08*3 = 3.24
Hence, the total tax is $3.24.
Hope this helped :-)
