Answer:
Total items = $39.90
Sales tax amount = $3.7905
Total cost = $43.691
The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items
Step-by-step explanation:
Dress = $24.95
Skirt = $14.95
steps the clerk completed.
Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90
Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40
Correct steps:
Total items = dress + skirt
= $24.95 + $14.95
= $39.90
Sales tax = 9.5%
Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total
= 9.5/100 × $39.90
= 0.095 × 39.90
= $3.7905
Total cost = Total + sales tax amount
= $39.90 + $3.7905
= $43.6905
To the nearest hundredth
= $43.691
Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items
Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax
I'm so confused what do you need help with?
Yes. Slope = rise over run so you go up one, over five
Hello, let's figure this one out together.
Me, myself had to write this down in the notes form to understand what I was doing.
In the fraction, multiply the 2's by 3.
1 over 2(2^3)+5.3(3)
1 over 2(2^3)+(5.3)(3)
Simplify each by step.
You end of up with a decimal.
You have a total of 0.031348.
