Jean is trying to read her grocery receipt, but it is blurry. The sales tax rate was 7.75%. She pays tax only on the items labeled with a T. How much sales tax did she pay? sales tax = $

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

nope it confuses me

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

do i turn the 7.75 to 1.0775

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

HELP MEEEEEEEE I WILL ME I WILL METAL

OpenStudy (welshfella):

you work out the tax by multiplying by 0.0775

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

ok

OpenStudy (welshfella):

note you only pay tax on goods marked T

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

first one is 1.00

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

the second is 26 right

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

so 1.26

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

1.26 right

OpenStudy (welshfella):

12.97 * 0.0775 + 3.39 * 0.0775

OpenStudy (welshfella):

you should round up the first one to the nearest cent

OpenStudy (zaberangelr):

thx

OpenStudy (welshfella):

12.97* 0.0775 = $1.005175

OpenStudy (welshfella):

= $1.01
