Question

1. Jacob buys a laptop for $356 plus tax of 6.25%. If he gives the

Cashier $400, how much change does he receive back?

Answer 1

Answer: $21.75

Explanation:

356*.0625 = 22.25

so 6.25% of 356 = $22.25

356+22.25 = $378.25 (this is how much he owes)

400-378.25 = $21.75

So he recieves $21.75 back
