Answer:
kyle spent $ 15.05 for speakers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
• kyle bought speakers for $14.2
• He also paid tax = 6 %
To find :
• The amount of money he spent
Solution:
First to convert the tax from percentage to a decimal
So,
Tax rate = 6 %
⇒ 6 / 100
⇒ 0.06
Amount of tax:
⇒ 14.2 × 0.06
⇒ 0.85
★ Formula:
Total sale amount = selling price + tax
⇒ 14.2 + 0.85
⇒ 15.05
Therefore,
kyle spent $ 15.05 for speakers
