Answer: (1) $847.85 , (2) $141.31
Step-by-step explanation:
House rent amount = $678.28
Tax rate of 15% of the rent = 15/100 x 678.28
= $101.742
% charged for late payments = 10% of 678.28
= 10/100 x 678.28
= $67.828
(1) Now , the total amount due payable by the six sorority sisters
= $678.28 + $101.742 + $67.828
= $847.85.
The question is in two parts
(2) The amount each of the six sorority sisters should contribute if they are paying equal amount = $847.85
