Answer 1

Answer:

$18.15  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that In Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 4.6% state sales tax and a 3.65% county sales tax. Yuki is purchasing a handbag priced at $220 before tax.

To find sales tax paid by Yuki for her handbag purchase we will find 4.6% of $220 and 3.65% of $220 and add amount of both taxes.  

$\text{Total sales tax amount}=\text{State sales tax amount}+\text{ County sales tax amount}$

$\text{State sales tax for handbag}=220\times\frac{4.6}{100}$        

$\text{State sales tax for handbag}=22\times 0.46$

$\text{State sales tax for handbag}=10.12$

Now let us find county sales tax for handbag purchase.

$\text{County sales tax for handbag}=220\times\frac{3.65}{100}$

$\text{County sales tax for handbag}=22\times 0.365$

$\text{County sales tax for handbag}=8.03$

Now let us add both amount to get total tax paid by Yuki.

$\text{Total sales tax}=10.12+8.03$

$\text{Total sales tax}=18.15$

Therefore, Yuki paid $18.15 sales tax for her handbag purchase.
