What is the total cost of a sweat shirt if the regular price is $42 and the sales tax is 5 1/2%

Sagot :

You want to find the total price?

$42

Tax: 5.5%

First, find 5.5% of 42:

[tex]\sf0.055\times42=2.31[/tex]

Now add this to the regular price:

[tex]\sf42+2.31=\$44.31[/tex]

So the total price is $44.31
The total price is 44.31 dollars because 5.5% in decimal form is 2.31, and when you add 2.31+42.00 you get 44.41.
