Vicky made some purchases at the sunflower market. she bought strawberries for $3.50, carrots for $2.25 and a bouquet of flowers for $9.95. if sales tax is 5%, what will Vicky pay altogether
so in this case first add all the cost togather, 3.50+2.25+9.95=$15.7
then move the decimal left two times to make the 5% into decimal number, which is .50
and multiply it by the total cost $15.7 which is 15.7*.50=7.85.
hope you like my answer and rate it. thank you :)
Answer:
Vicky will pay $16.485 altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of strawberries = $3.50
Cost of carrots = $2.25
Cost of a bouquet of flowers = $9.95
Total cost of all items = $3.50+$2.25+$9.95
=$15.7
Sales tax% = 5%
Cost including sales tax = \(15.7 + \frac{5}{100} \times 15.7\)
Cost including sales tax = \(16.485\)
Hence Vicky will pay $16.485 altogether
