Question

What is the total cost of a pair of jeans that are priced $50.00 if there is 7% sales tax?

Answer 1

7% = 0.07

$50 * 0.07 =  3.5

$50 + $3.5 = $53.5

total cost of a pair of jeans: $53.5

Answer 2

$50.71 I think. You take 50 and divide it by 7 which gives you 7.142857 repeating then you move the decimal point to the right 2 spots to make it 714. and round it to 71 cents.
