Answer 1

Answer:

The tax  would you pay on that item 13.2 cents .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The sales tax in your city is 4.4%, and an item costs $3 before tax.

4.4 % is written in the decimal form .

$= \frac{4.4}{100}$

= 0.044

Tax paid on the item = 0.044 × Cost price of an item .

Putting all the values in the above

                                   = 0.044 × 3

                                   = $ 0.132

As

1 dollar = 100 cent

Thus

Convert 0.132 dollars into cents .

$ 0.132 = 0.132 × 100

            = 13.2 cents

Therefore the tax  would you pay on that item 13.2 cents .
