Question

Mrs. Jones atteneded a southern living home party she purchased a vase wich cost $34.99 the shipping charge was #3.00 and 8.25% sales tax was paid on the subtotal wich including the shipping charge how much did she pa for the vase?

Answer 1

14.135

$34.99+3 =$37.99

to add sales tax all you got to do is multiple $37.99 to the tax percentage (8.25%) so it's 37.99*8.75% then add the original price back. so it's 37.99*8.75%+37.99=41.124175

if you round to 38 the answer is 41.135
