Question

What is the cost of three $2.99 value meals with a sales tax of 6%?


$9.51


$10.00


$3.17


$6.34

Answer 1

First, add $2.99 + $2.99 + $2.99, or just multiply 3 * $2.99.
That will give you the cost of the three meals without tax.

Answer 2

$8.97

Answer 3

Correct.

Now you need to find the 6% tax and add it to the total.
To find a percent of an amount, multiply the percent (written as a decimal) by the amount.
6% of an amount is the same as 6% times the amount.
To change a percent into a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left.
6% is the same as 0.06.
That means that 6% of $8.97 is the same as 0.06 * $8.97
What is 0.06 * $8.97?

Answer 4

Once you have calculated this tax, add this dollar amount to the total bill for the three value meals.

Answer 5

I got $0.5382 lol

Answer 6

Correct.
The tax is $0.5382 which can be rounded to $0.54
That is the amount of sales tax due on $8.97
Now you add the total before tax, $8.97, to the amount of tax, $0.54, to find the grand total including tax.
What is $8.97 + $0.54 ?
