Question

Maggie is buying 2 shirts that cost $8.50 each. There is a 6.5% sales tax.

What is the total Maggie will pay for the shirts?

Answer 1

Answer: 15.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 8.50 and 8.50 you get 17.00 and subtract 6.5% to it and you get 15.00

Answer 2

Answer $9.05

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 6.5% sales tax to $8.50 that rounds up to about 55cent in sales tax so 8.50 + .55 = 9.05

9.05 + 9.05 = 18.10
