Question

If the sales tax rate is 7.375% in New York State, then how much sales tax would you pay in Albany for a $34 pair of pants?

Answer 1

$34.00*7.375%=$2.5075 round up $2.51
pants would cost a total of $36.51

Answer 2

$2.5075

Explanation:

If sales tax is 7.375%, then we have to find this percentage of the cost of the pair of pants.

SO, we have

`0.07375(34)=2.5075`

So, sales tax for the pair of pants would be $2.5075. And the final cost of the pair of pants would be $34 + $2.5075 = $36.5075.
