Question

At the school book fair, Henry brings $10.00. He purchases a book for 8.50, plus a 6% sales tax. How much money in change will Henry receive?​

Answer 1

The book is $8.50, so all you need to do is multiply 8.5 * 0.06 (the 6% sales tax in decimal form)

8.5 * 0.06 = .51

Then add that to $8.50

$8.50 + $0.51 = $9.01

Then subtract from $10

$10 - $9.01 = $0.99

99 cents in change

Answer 2

Answer:

.99 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5 x 1.06= 9.01
