Answer 2

Answer: $31.45

Explanation:

Given : The price of a pair of pants is $29.95.

The sales tax is 5% = 0.05

Required formula :

Total cost = Price + sales tax percent × Price

Total cost= Price (1+Sales tax percent)

i.e. Total cost of the pair of pants= 29.95 (1+0.05) =29.95(1.05)=31.4475 ≈ 31.45

Hence, the total cost of the pair of pants = $31.45
