Question

If Joe bought $325.00 worth of school supplies and had to pay 15% sales tax. How much did Joe pay after tax?

Answer 1

Answer: $422.25

Step-by-step explanation: We have to find what is 15% of $375.00 so we change the percentage to a decimal so and multiply so .15 X 375.00 = $47.25 so then we already had a bill of 375.00 so we add $375.00 + $47.25 and our grand total is $422.25

Hope this helps!!! And good luck!!!! ;)

Answer 2

Answer:

Joe pays total $\bold\ 373.75\bold$

Solution:

Joe bought school supplies worth $\ 325.00$X

He has to pay $15 \%$ of sales tax of the school supplies.

So as tax he has to pay $(\ 325 \times 15 \%)$ = $\left(\ 325 \times \frac{15}{100}\right)$ =$\frac{\ 325 \times 15}{100}$=$\ 48.75$

So the total amount Joe need to pay is $\ 325$ along with the tax $\ 48.75$

The total amount need to pay will be $\bold(\ 325+\ 48.75)=\ 373.75\bold$
