Answer 1

Answer=$53.99

20%=0.20
100%+20%=120%=1.20

$44.99*1.20=$53.988
Since you can't have 0.008 of a dollar, we need to round.
$53.99

Answer 2

Taxes and fees cost:
$44.99* (20/100)= $8.998

The bill after taxes and fees is:
$44.99+ $ 8.998= $53.988

Rounded to the nearest cent, the final answer is $53.99.

Hope this would help~
