Question

Sally wants to purchase a new snowblower for $349.99. The local sales tax is 7.5%. How much sales tax will she have to pay? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To find the amount of sales tax Sally will have to pay, multiply the cost of the snowblower by the sales tax rate:

349.99 * .075 = <<349.99*.075=26.25>>26.25

She will have to pay $26.25 in sales tax.
