Question

If you are buying at item at a store for a price of $49, and there is a 8.2% tax added on top, what would be the total amount due at the register, to the nearest cent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the decimal form of the percentage.

$\frac{8.2}{100} =0.082$

Then, multiply it by the total.

$49*0.082=4.018$

4.018 rounded to the nearest cent is $4.02$.

$49+4.02=53.02$

Answer 2

$53.02 - the pictures shows the steps and then you round up from 49+4.018=53.018 to get $53.02
