What is the total price of a $45.79 item when 7% sales tax is added?
You find 7% of $45.79 and then add that on to $45.79
7% of $45.79 = $3.21
45.79 + 3.21 = 49
The new price is $49
Answer: The total price after tax is $48.99.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Total price of an item = $45.79
Rate of sales tax = 7%
So, amount of tax becomes
\(\dfrac{7}{100}\times 45.79\\\\=\$3.2053\)
So, Amount after tax would become
\(\$45.79+\$3.2053\\\\=\$48.99\)
Hence, the total price after tax is $48.99.
