Emily wants a new dress she only has $30 to spend she lives in Florida where the sales tax is 5%, about estimate how much can the dress cost if she wants to spend all her money

1 answer

To calculate how much Emily can spend on the dress, we first need to subtract the sales tax from her total budget.

Sales tax in Florida is 5%, so we need to find 5% of $30.

5% of $30 = 0.05 x 30 = $1.50

Subtracting the sales tax from her total budget:

$30 - $1.50 = $28.50

Therefore, Emily can spend approximately $28.50 on the dress to stay within her budget after accounting for sales tax.
