Question

The sales tax rate is 7.25%. How much sales tax will Kevin pay on a $52.50 messenger bag?

Answer 1

$3.81

Explanation:

The sales tax rate is 7.25%.

Cost of messenger bag = $52.50

Kevin will pay sales tax = 7.25% of 52.50

=
`(7.25)/(100)* 52.50`

= 0.0725 × 52.50

= $3.80625 ≈ $3.81

Kevin will pay $3.81 sales tax on messenger bag.
