Question

Mia buys a fruit smoothie that costs 5 dollars and a burger that costs 8 dollars. If sales tax is 9%, what is the total purchase price including tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $14.17

Explanation:

her total cost without tax is 5+8 = $13.

since sales tax ius 9%, (being added to the 100% of the original cost), her total will be 109% of the total 13 dollars.

doing this gives us:

1.09 x 13 = $14.17

thats the total with tax!
