Answer 2

Answer:

Yuki paid $18.15 sales tax on purchasing a hand bag of $220.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Price of handbag = $220

State Sales tax = 4.6%

Country Sales tax = 3.65%

Amount paid in State Sales tax = Percent State sales tax $\times$ Price of handbag = $\frac{4.6}{100}\times 220 = 0.046\times 220 = \ 10.12$

Amount paid in Country Sales tax = Percent Country sales tax $\times$ Price of handbag = $\frac{3.65}{100}\times 220 = 0.0365\times 220 = \ 8.03$

Hence Total Amount paid in sales Tax = Amount paid in State Sales tax + Amount paid in Country Sales tax = $\ 10.12+\ 8.03 = \ 18.15$

Yuki paid $18.15 as Sales tax on purchasing a hand bag of $220.
