Answer 2

Answer:

$38.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

7.5% of 35.55

To find the answer we must first find 7.5% of 35.55 using the formula to calculate percentages, and then we add that answer to the current price of the pants.

$\frac{p\times n}{100}$
$\frac{7.5\times35.55}{100}$
$7.5\times35.55=266.625$
$266.625\div100=2.66625$
$=2.66625$

Round the answer to the nearest cent:
$2.66625$
$6 > 5$
$=2.67$

7.5% of 35.55 is "$2.67."

Now we add the answer to the current price:
$35.55$
$35.55+2.67=38.22$
$=38.22$

The cost of the new pants after a 7.5% tax is "$38.22."

Hope this helps.
