shoes that cost $45 + $18+ sales tax of 7.5%

Question

There are shoes that cost $45 and a package of socks that cost $18. There is a sales tax of 7.5% on everything purchased. What will be the total cost of the items?

Answer 1

shoes =   20$

socks =   18$

-----------------

total =     38.00$

Tax  =       2.85$(calculated below)

--------------------

Net total = 40.85

 

 

Tax = 7.5% of 38

       = 7.5/100*38

       =(75*38)/1000

       =2.85
