Question

If the sales tax rate is 7.25% in California, then how much would you pay in Los Angeles for a coat that cost $120.00?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is $8.70

Explanation:

you start out by taking $120 and multiplying it by .0725 ( 7.25% in decimal form)

you will get $8.7

you have to add a zero onto the end to make it $8.70
