Question

PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION, ITS FOR MY EXAMS: Sandy Brooke purchased a sweater for $15.67, a pair of socks for $2.13, and a bracelet for $6.78. For all purchases she must pay the state sales tax of 7.5% and the county tax of 0.5%. What is the tax on her purchases? What is her total purchase price?

Answer 1

$15.67+$2.13+$6.78=$24.58
$24.58x7.5%=$26.42
0.5% of $24.58=0.1229 or 13cents
$26.42+$0.13=$26.55
