Question

Summer spent $55.60 on clothes before sales tax. If sales tax is 7.5%, what did Summer spend with tax included?  *Add Explanation If U Can*

Answer 1

$59.77. Turn the percent into a decimal by moving the decimal to the left two places (7.5 to 0.075). Then multiply the new decimal by the cost (55.60×0.075=4.17). 4.17 would be the total sales tax, so then add it to the price (55.77+4.17=59.77). Hope that helped.
