Question

Julio needs the following items below from the hardware store: a drill bit that costs $4.99, nails that cost $0.46, and sand paper that costs $0.89. How much did he spend, if the sales tax rate is 6%

Answer 1

Find the cost of all the items together.

4.99 + 0.46 + 0.89 = $6.34

Find the sales tax.

6% = 0.06

6.34 * 0.06 = 0.3804

Add.

6.34 + 0.3804 = 6.7204

Round.

6.7204 = 6.72

He spent approximately $6.72
