Question

$27.99 shoes ; 7 1/2 tax find the total cost or sale price to the nearest cent

Answer 1

Answer:

$The total cost or sale price  = $30.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost or sale price is the absolute price of a commodity including the given tax.

From the question given, the tax is $7\frac{1}{2}$% of the price. So that;

Tax = $7\frac{1}{2}$% × 27.99

      = 0.075 × 27.99

      = 2.09925

∴ Tax  = $2.09925

The total cost or sale price = price + tax

                                             = $27.99 + $2.09925

                                            = $30.08925

The total cost or sale price  = $30.09

Answer 2

27.99x.075= 2.09925 or 2.10 Rounded
27.99+2.10= $30.09
