Question

Abby wants to buy one shirt for $25 and three pairs for socks $2.00 per pair. If sales tax is 8%, how much will she pay?.

Answer 1

25+3*2=31, to add the tax do 1.08*31

Answer 2

Abby wants to buy one shirt for $25 and three pairs for socks $2.00 per pair. If sales tax is 8%, how much will she pay?.

The price of her items is $25 plus $6, so that's $31.
Then we need to add 8% onto the $31.
You can do this with a calculator: (31)*(1.08)
Multiplying by 1.08 is the same thing as adding on 8% because 0.08 is 8%.
Or you can multiply $31 by 0.08 and add that to $31.

Hope that helps! It's my first day on the site!
Good luck!
