Question

Patel bought a model rocket kit from a catalog. The price of the kit was $124.95. The state sales tax of 7% was added and then a $10 charge for shipping was added after the sales tax. What was the total amount Patel paid including tax and shipping cost? Patel received an allowance for $15 per week. How many weeks will it take him to purchase the kit?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price was 124.95.....sales tax of 7%...

so we find 7% of 124.95, and then add it back to the original price.

7% of 124.95.....turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply

0.07(124.95) = 8.746 rounds to 8.75.....this is ur sales tax

so now it costs : 124.95 + 8.75 = 133.70 (sales tax added)

now add the $ 10 shipping and u have a total price of : 143.70 <===

so if he gets $ 15 per week.....143.70/15 = 9.58 weeks <==
