Question

For passing Grade 8, you received a $150 gift card. You want to purchase a skateboard for $78.50 and a helmet for $32.00. a) Sales tax is 13%. What is the total sales tax? b) How much money will you have left on your gift card after you buy these items? *

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $14.37 sales tax

b) $25.13 left on gift card

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchases: 78.50 + 32.00 = 110.50

Sales tax: 13%:

1% of 110.50 = 1.1050

1.1050 x 13 = 14.365

rounded to 2 decimal places: $14.37

Total cost: 110.50 + 14.37 = $124.87

Gift card: 150.00 - 124.87 = 25.13
