OpenStudy (anonymous):

780.33333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

6% of 46.82 = (6/100)*46.82 = 0.06*46.82 = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i divided instead ok its 2.8092

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

round that to the nearest cent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.9?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

cent would be hundredths (since "cent" means one-hundredth) think 100 pennies in a dollar

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it would be 2.81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the 2.81 stand for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and whats the next step

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2.81 is the tax (just the tax) that you pay for the bill

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you add the tax back onto the original bill to get the total bill, which is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

49.63

OpenStudy (anonymous):
