Question

Myra bought a pair of jeans that cost $55. The sales tax rate is 10 percent. What is the total amount she paid for the jeans?

Answer 1

$\sf\huge\underline{Explanation :-}$

Given :

• Cost price of jeans = $ 55
• Sales tax rate = 10%

To find :

The total amount paid for the jeans.

Solution :

Here, the cost price and the tax over the jeans are given. We've to find the total amount Myra paid for the jeans.

We know that,

Tax rate = 10% of the cost price

= $ (10/100 × 55)

= $ (55/10)

= $ 5.5

Now,

Total amount paid for the jeans = (Cost price of the jeans + tax over the jeans)

= $ (55 + 5.5)

= $ 60.5

Hence, the total amount Myra paid for the jeans is $ 60.5 respectively.

More on Profit & Loss :

• When the selling price is greater than the cost price, there is a profit. i.e Profit = (S.P - C.P)
• When the cost price is greater than the selling price, there is a loss. i.e Loss = (C.P - S.P)
• Profit percentage = (Profit/C.P × 100) %
• Loss percentage = (Loss/C.P × 100) %

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is $60.5.

As 10% of 100 is equal to $5.5

Then $55+5.5= $60.5
