Answer: Carl paid $25.98 for this DVD in dollars and cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original cost of the DVD was $24.00. If a sales tax of 8.25% was charged, it means that the original cost of the DVD would increase by 8.25%.
The value in dollar and cents of an 8.25% increment(sales tax) would be
8.25/100 × 24 = 0.0825 × 24
= $1.98
Therefore, the amount that Carl would pay for this DVD in dollars and cents is
24 + 1.98 = $25.98
