Question

If you are buying at item at a store for a price of $34, and there is a 7.3% tax added on top, what would be the total amount due at the register, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

The exact total would be $36.482 ~= $36.48

Explanation:

34 x 1.073 = 36.482

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

Divide the percentage to find the decimal form.

`(7.3)/(100) =0.073`

Multiply the total by the percentage.

`34*0.073=2.482`

`2.482` rounded to the nearest cent is
`2.48`.

Add the total.

`34 +2.48=36.48.`
