Answer 2

B - 7.50

Answer 3

Actually it is A, $3.75. :)

With whichever tax, the way to calculate is...

the amount of money paid + 0.0taxratehere = tax amount
(wow that didnt make sense)

so...
50 + 0.075 = 3.75

And another way to do it is also to find the actual 7.5% of 50 the long way:
(50 / 100) * 7.5 = 3.75

:)

I also think that if u have other questions like this u should ask it in the math section. :D
