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.

Answer 1

Answer:

$63.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Taxes are charges paid by individuals and enforced by the government in other to fund government spending and various public expenditures.

The flowers cost $59.95 and tax is 6%.

Tax = 6% of flower cost = 0.06 × $59.95 = $3.6

The  total cost of the flowers is the sum of tax and the cost of flowers, hence:

Total cost of the flowers = $59.95 + $3.6

Total cost of the flowers = $63.55
