Professor Burger orders flowers to be delivered to his mother. The flowers cost $59.95, not including tax. A bouquet of flowers
is shown. Its price tag reads fifty-nine dollars and ninety-five cents. If there is a 6% sales tax, what is the total cost of the flowers to the nearest cent? Enter the correct answer in the box.
First, you need to find what 6% of 59.95 is. To do this, multiply 59.95 x 0.06. This gives you 3.597. Add together 59.95 and 3.597. This gives you 63.547. The directions say to round to the nearest cent, so round up to $63.55.
