Question

Round your answer to the nearest cent,as necessary

Answer 1

To calculate a percentage, you need to multiply the price of an item times the tax rate divided by one hundred, so the tax rate is 8.25 you divide this number by 100.

8.25 divided by 100 = 0.0825

Then you multiply the price of the item by this rate 519.99 x 0.0825 = 42.899175 round it to 42.90

Finally you add the price of the item plus the tax, that's 519.99 + 42.90 = 562.89.

hope this hepls!

Answer 2

519.99(.0825) = 42.899
