0.5% = 0.5 / 100 = 0.005
4% = 4 / 100 = 0.04
0.5% city tax = 0.005 ∙ $18.5 = $0.0925
4% state tax = 0.04 ∙ $18.5 = $0.74
a.
Price = charges + city tax + state tax =
$18.5 + $0.0925 + $0.74 = $19.3325
$19.33
rounded to the nearest cent
b.
$0.74 - $0.0925 = $0.6475
$0.65
rounded to the nearest cent
4% = 4 / 100 = 0.04
0.5% city tax = 0.005 ∙ $18.5 = $0.0925
4% state tax = 0.04 ∙ $18.5 = $0.74
a.
Price = charges + city tax + state tax =
$18.5 + $0.0925 + $0.74 = $19.3325
$19.33
