Question

A shopper brought shoes marked $45 the sales tax is 6.5% How much did the shopper pay in all

Answer 1

Hello!

Sales tax is basically additional money added onto your purchase, which means we must find the sales tax and then add that onto the cost of the shoes.

To find the sales tax, we multiply the cost of the shoes by the percentage of tax applied to the purchase.

45 × 6.5% = 2.925

45 + 2.925 = 47.925

Round this to 47.93

So, the shopper pair $47.93 in all.
