Answer
Explanation:
1) a)
- Multiply purchase amount by tax rate. $29.99\times0.0575 = 1.724425\approx1.72$
1) b)
- Add sales - tax to purchase amount. $29.99 + 1.72=31.71$
2) a)
- Multiply iPhone price by tax rate. $649.99\times0.075 = 48.74925\approx48.75$
2) b)
- Add sales - tax to iPhone price. $649.99+48.75 = 698.74$
3)
- First, find pre - tax total. $2\times44.99+59.00 + 9.99=89.98+59.00 + 9.99 = 158.97$
- Then, find sales tax. $158.97\times0.0575 = 9.130775\approx9.13$
- Finally, find total purchase price. $158.97+9.13 = 168.1$
4)
- First, find pre - tax total. $39.99+31.65 + 15.99+14.99=102.62$
- Then, find sales tax. $102.62\times0.03 = 3.0786\approx3.08$
- Finally, find total purchase price. $102.62+3.08 = 105.7$
5) a)
- Add the costs of items. $0.5 + 0.3+0.2 = 1$
5) b)
- Multiply pre - tax total by tax rate. $1\times0.0575 = 0.0575\approx0.06$
5) c)
- Add sales tax to pre - tax total. $1+0.06 = 1.06$
