Question

If you buy $47.05 worth of items and the tax is 5%, What would be the total cost? :D

Answer 1

Answer: $49.40

Explanation:

5/100 = x/47.05

*cross multiply*

5*47.05 = 100x

235.25 = 100x

*divide*

235.25/100 = x

2.3525 = x

*add*

2.3525 + 47.05

49.4025

*round*

Answer 2

Do 47.05 x 0.05

= 2.3525

Add

47.05 + 2.35 = 49.40

Total = $49.40
