Question

The Muffin Man’s shop on Drury Lane charges 8% sales tax. Prince Charming’s purchases at the shop rang up at $34, and the tax was calculated to be $27.20.
What did the Muffin Man do wrong when he calculated the tax, and how can he fix his mistake?

Answer 1

Answer:

he multiplied by 0.8 not .08

Step-by-step explanation:

when doing 8% you go back 2 places so 0.08

34×0.08= 2.72

34+2.72= 36.72

He multiplied wrong, he multiplied by 0.8 not .08. the correct answer would be 36.72 <3
