Question

Dave purchased 3 notebooks for a cost of $6.29 each before tax. He gave the cashier $20.00. If the sales tax on his purchase was 6%, how much money should Dave have received back from the cashier, to the nearest penny?

Answer 1

Answer:

12.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Dave have received back from the cashier is $ 0

Solution:

Cost of 1 book = $ 6.29

Therefore,

Cost of 3 books = 3 x 6.29 = 18.87

sales tax on his purchase was 6%

Therefore,

sales tax amount = 6 % of 18.87

$\text{ sales tax amount } = \frac{6}{100} \times 18.87\\\\\text{ sales tax amount } = 1.1322$

Therefore,

Total amount after tax = 18.87 + 1.1322 = 20.0022

He gave the cashier $20.00

Remaining = 20 - 20.0022 = 0.0022

Thus,  Dave have received back from the cashier is $ 0
