you purchased 10.75 gallons of gasoline at 3.60/gallon. you also bought a cookie (1.25) and windshield wiper fluid at (4.97). the state had a food tax of 4%. you gave the clerk 20.00 and the remaining amount is owed was charged to your debit card. how much was charged to your debit card
Here is the solution to the given problem above:
Given: 10.75 gallons, which is $3.60 per gallon = $38.70
Cookie = $1.25 + 4% food tax = $1.30
Wiper fluid = $4.97
Cash = $20.00
? = amount charged to debit card
In order to know the amount charged to the debit card, we will add first all the amounts spent and the total is $44.97. Deduct $20.00 from the total, so the remaining amount that is to be charged to the debit card is $24.97. Hope this answer helps.
