Question

2. Ashley purchased a new television for$2400 and a surround sound for $980.The sales tax is 7%. Find the totalamount of money that Ashley will payfor her two items including tax.

Answer 1

Ashley has to pay $2400 + $980 = $3380 for both items.

We need to calculate the 7% of this amount to find how much she has to pay in taxes.

`3380\cdot(7)/(100)=236.6`

Finally, the total amount she has to pay is $3380 + $236.6 = $3616.6
