Question

A package of AA batteries cost $3.50 plus an additional 6% tax. What is the price after tax? PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.71 is your price after the tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change the percentage into a decimal:

6% = 0.06

Multiply the decimal with the cost:

3.50 x 0.06 = 0.21

Add the number gotten to the original price:

3.50 + 0.21 = 3.71

$3.71 is your price after the tax.

Answer 2

Answer:

$3.71

total cost = 3.5+.21

                  =3.71

The cost of the batteries is $3.71 after tax
