Question

Erin went to the supermarket to buy fruit. Her total was $12.98 before tax. If there is a 6% sales tax, then what is her total?

Answer 1

To find the total amount due, we take the before tax amount and add the 6% tax, as following:

$\begin{gathered} 12.98+(6/100)\cdot(12.98) \\ \\ \Rightarrow13.76 \end{gathered}$

Thereby, we can conclude that the total amount due is $13.76
