Question

What is the total cost of a pair of jeans that are priced $50.00 if there is 7 1/2% sales tax?


$53.75
$55.50
$57.50

Answer 1

The jeans are $50, and with 7.5% sales tax ($3.75) it gives you a total of $53.75.

Answer 2

Cost price = $ 50. and Tax @ 7.5 %

Hence The .Total cost = 50 + 7.5% of 50

TC = 50 ( 1 + 7.5/100 )

TC = 50 ( 1.075 )

=> TC = $ 53.75 .......... Answer Answer
