QUESTION 9Brian buys a gook for $12.52. The sales tax on thebook is 7%. If he pays with a $20 bill, how muchchange should he receive?A) $0.88B) $6.60C) $13.40D) $4.76

Answer 1

Answer:

B) $6.60

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the tax, so we need to find 7% of $12.52 as follows:

$12.52\times7\text{ \% = 12.52}\times\frac{7}{100}=0.8764$

Now, Brian will pay $12.52 plus $0.8764 for the tax, so he will pay in total:

$12.52 + $0.8764 = $13.3964

Finally, If he pays with a $20 bill, he should receive:

$20 - $13.3964 = $6.6036

Therefore, the answer is B) $6.60
