Question

What is the total price of a $45.79 item when 7% sales tax is added?

Answer 1

Answer: The total price after tax is $48.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total price of an item = $45.79

Rate of sales tax = 7%

So, amount of tax becomes

$\dfrac{7}{100}\times 45.79\\\\=\ 3.2053$

So, Amount after tax would become

$\ 45.79+\ 3.2053\\\\=\ 48.99$

Hence, the total price after tax is $48.99.

Answer 2

You find 7% of $45.79 and then add that on to $45.79
7% of $45.79 = $3.21
45.79 + 3.21 = 49
The new price is $49
