Question

43. Lily ordered 21 sheets of metal at $22 per sheet. If there was a 10% sales tax, what was the total cost of the order?

Answer 1

Lily ordered 21 at $22 each so, 22 x 21. Let’s break it down
(22 x 20 = 440) + (22 x 1 = 22) = 462.
We found the price before tax, now let’s figure out how to find the price after tax.
To find the tax you need to find the percent of the number before tax, for example “What is that total after sales tax if I payed 12 before tax”. You would find 10% of 12 which is 1.2 . Then you add, 12+1.2=13.2 so the total after tax would be 13.2. So now we need to find 10% of 462. Just move the decimal to the left once. 46.2, now we add 462+46.2, that would be 508.2.
THE ANSWER IS 462 BEFORE TAX AND 508.2 AFTER 10 PERCENT SALES TAX, HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

To calculate the total cost of the order, we need to account for both the cost of the metal sheets and the sales tax.

The cost of the metal sheets can be calculated by multiplying the number of sheets (21) by the cost per sheet ($22):

Cost of metal sheets = 21 sheets * $22 per sheet = $462

Now, let's calculate the sales tax. The sales tax is 10% of the total cost of the metal sheets:

Sales tax = 10% of $462 = 0.10 * $462 = $46.20

To find the total cost of the order, we add the cost of the metal sheets and the sales tax:

Total cost = Cost of metal sheets + Sales tax

Total cost = $462 + $46.20 = $508.20

The total cost of the order, including the 10% sales tax, is $508.20. (SORRY IS ITS WRONG THOUGH)
