Question

A new shirt for Samantha has a price of $99.75. Since there is no PST on children's clothes, the only tax she has to pay is 5% GST. Approximately how much GST does she need to pay, rounded to the nearest dollar?

Answer 1

Answer:

Samantha needs to pay $5 for the GST.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the amount of GST that Samantha needs to pay, you can use the rule of three to fnd the 5% given than 99.75 represents 100%:

$99.75→100%

     x    ←  5%

x=(99.75*5)/100= 5

According to this, the answer is that Samantha needs to pay $5 for the GST.
