Question

need help idk what the answer is !!! Jan bought a blazer for $39.90. The price of the blazer was $38. What sales-tax rate was she charged for this blazer?

A) 0.05%
B) 1.90%
C) 5%

Answer 1

Price + (Price x Tax) = Final Price

Answer 2

Solve for tax

Answer 3

5%

Answer 4

5% because $39.90 - $38.00 = $1.90 , if you multiply each answer with $38, you find that 5% aka 0.05 * 38 = 1.90

Answer 5

A. 0.05% is the correct answer for this one!!! :DDDD

Answer 6

@Firejay5 Wow. a 0.05% tax would be nice! Not the case here, though.

Answer 7

that's what the answer is

Answer 8

I disagree.

Answer 9

what is it

Answer 10

$38 x 0.05% = $38 x 0.0005 = 19 cents

Answer 11

$38 x 5% = $38 x 0.05 = $1.90

Answer 12

yes it's 0.05

Answer 13

Right, but 0.05 is not 0.05%.

Answer 14

okay and doesn't matter

Answer 15

typo geez chill

Answer 16

5% = 0.5 and 0.05% = 0.05%

Answer 17

Sure it does. Do you think on a test you could argue that A and C are the same? Of course not. They're different by 2 orders of magnitude.

Answer 18

exactly
