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
