Question

You spent $88.50 at target you happen to have $25 gift card from your birthday if the sales tax rate was 6.5% how much did you end up paying total?

Answer 1

I’m assuming the $88.50 is pre-tax

$88.50 plus tax is $88.50 + ($88.50x6.5%, which equals $5.75 in tax)

$88.50 + $5.75 = $94.25 total with tax

If you have a $25 gift card, subtract that from your total with tax:

$94.25-$25.00=$59.25 total after you add tax and subtract the gift card
