Question

If you are buying at item at a store for a price of $61, and there is a 6.7% tax added on top, what would be the total amount due at the register, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total amount due at the register will be: $65.09    

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an item = $61

tax on item = 6.7%

The tax amount =  6.7% × 61

                           = 0.067 × 61

                           = $ 4.09

The total cost = cost of an item + tax amount

                           = $61 + $4.09

                           = $65.09

Therefore, the total amount due at the register will be: $65.09
