Question

Christina picked out a new tennis racket that was priced at $35.00. She has saved $40.00 to cover tax. If there is an 8% tax, then how much will she pay for the tennis racket and the tax?

Answer 1

First, we will find 8% of $35.00

This will give the cost of the tax;

8% of 35 = 8/100 x $35

=$2.8

Since the tennis racket was priced $35.00

Then the total amount she will pay for the tenis and tax is;

$35.00 + $2.8

=$37.80
