Question

Reba Gomez bought an airline ticket whose selling price is $654.34 and sales tax rate is 5%.

Answer 1

Answer:

The sales tax that will be added onto the ticket is $32.717, which rounds to $32.72. The total cost of the ticket plus the sales tax is $687.06.

Explanation:

To find the sales tax, we multiply the ticket cost by the percent.

$654.34 x 5٪

5% can be written as 0.05.

$654.34 × 0.05 = 32.717

Rounding results in $32.72 in sales tax.

To find out what Reba is paying in total we add the ticket cost to the sales tax.

$654.34 + $32.72= $687.06
