Question

Layla sells stuffed animals. She sells stuffed elephants for $27.95, and the sales tax is 7% of the sale price. How much sales tax on an elephant?

Answer 1

$1.96

Explanation:

7% is the same as 0.07

That means we can multiply 27.95 by 0.07 and get our sales tax

After multiplying I got: 1.9565

We then round to the hundredths place:

1.96

$1.96

Answer 2

195.65 US dollars

$27.95 *(times) 7%(7)= $195.65

Correct me if im wrong
