Question

The price tag on a shirt says $12.58. Sales tax is 7.5% of the price. How much will you pay for the shirt?

Answer 1

Answer: You will pay $13.52 for this shirt.

Step-by-step explanation: 0.9435

Since the tax is 7.5%, you have to multiply 12.58 by 7.5% to find the amount of money paid as tax.

7.5% = 0.075

12.58 x 0.075 = 0.9435

Since we are dealing with money we have to round to the nearest hundredth -- 0.9435 = 0.94

Then to find the final cost of the shirt, we have to add 12.58 and 0.94 to get  $13.52.
