Question

If you are buying at item at a store for a price of $49, and there is a 8.2% tax added on top, what would be the total amount due at the register, to the nearest cent?​

Answer 1

$53.02 - the pictures shows the steps and then you round up from 49+4.018=53.018 to get $53.02

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

You need to find the decimal form of the percentage.

`(8.2)/(100) =0.082`

Then, multiply it by the total.

`49*0.082=4.018`

4.018 rounded to the nearest cent is
`4.02`.

`49+4.02=53.02`
