Question

Tom bought 5 candy bars and paid a total of $6.76, including tax. If each candy bar cost $1.25, how much tax did tom pay?

A) $0.25
B) $0.50
C) $0.75
D) $5.50

Answer 1

If each candy bar costs $1.25, and Tom payed for 5 of them, all you have to do is multiply and then subtract.

5 × 1.25 = 6.25

6.76 - 6.25 = 0.51

So, the best answer for this question would be B) $0.50. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

5*1.25=6.25

6.76-6.25= 0.51

I would round it down to 0.50 (B)
