Question

What is the total price charged for goods that cost $7.50 and have a 4% sales tax? $0.30 $7.20 $7.80 $30.00

Answer 1

Turn that percent into a decimal and multiply that by $7.50. 0.04(7.50)=.30. Add that to the original value. 7.50+.30=7.80. It will be $7.80 after a 4% sales tax.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. $7.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the total price charged for goods that cost $7.50 and with a 4% sales tax.

The total price of goods would be $7.50 plus 4% of $7.50.

$\text{The total price of goods}=\ 7.50+\frac{4}{100}\times \ 7.50$

$\text{The total price of goods}=\ 7.50+0.04\times \ 7.50$

$\text{The total price of goods}=\ 7.50+\ 0.30$

$\text{The total price of goods}=\ 7.80$

Therefore, the total price of goods would be $7.80.
