Answer 1

The sales tax rate is 7.75%.

Jean pays tax on only items marked with T.

The items marked with T are Dog Food & Hand soap.

Cost of Dog food is $12.97

Cost of Hand soap is $3.39

Total cost of Dog Food & Hand soap is 12.97 + 3.39=$16.36

The rate of sales tax is 7.75%

So sales tax on $16.36 = 7.75% of 16.36 = 0.0775 × 16.36 = $1.2679

So Jean pays a tax of $1.2679 which is $1.27 rounded to the nearest cents.

The sales tax paid by Jean on the items marked T is $1.27
