Question

A sweater costs $29.99 plus a 6% sales tax. How much will the sweater cost with the tax (rounded to the nearest penny)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$31.79

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to change 6% into a decimal:

6% -> $\frac{6}{100}$ -> 0.06

Next, lets multiply 29.99 by 0.06:

$x= 29.99(0.06)$

$x=1.80$

Now add 1.79 to 29.99 to get the answer:

$29.99 + 1.80 = 31.79$

The sweater will cost $31.79 after tax.
