To find the tax Valentina will pay on the shirt, you can set up a proportion based on the tax rate. The tax rate of 5.5% can be expressed as a decimal:
\[ 5.5\% = 0.055 \]
Now you can find the tax by multiplying the shirt's price by the tax rate:
\[ \text{Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate} \]
\[ \text{Tax} = 29.00 \times 0.055 \]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Tax} = 29.00 \times 0.055 = 1.595
\]
Now, rounding this to the nearest hundredth:
\[
\text{Tax} \approx 1.60
\]
Next, to determine the total price including the tax, you can add the tax to the original price:
\[
\text{Total Price} = \text{Price} + \text{Tax}
\]
\[
\text{Total Price} = 29.00 + 1.60 = 30.60
\]
Therefore, the total price of the shirt including the tax is:
**Total Price: $30.60**
\[ 5.5\% = 0.055 \]
Now you can find the tax by multiplying the shirt's price by the tax rate:
\[ \text{Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate} \]
\[ \text{Tax} = 29.00 \times 0.055 \]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Tax} = 29.00 \times 0.055 = 1.595
\]
Now, rounding this to the nearest hundredth:
\[
\text{Tax} \approx 1.60
\]
Next, to determine the total price including the tax, you can add the tax to the original price:
\[
\text{Total Price} = \text{Price} + \text{Tax}
\]
\[
\text{Total Price} = 29.00 + 1.60 = 30.60
\]
Therefore, the total price of the shirt including the tax is:
**Total Price: $30.60**

To determine the proportion to find the tax Valentina will pay on her $29.00 shirt with a tax rate of 5.5%, you can represent the relationship between the tax amount, the shirt price, and the tax rate as follows:
1. Let \( T \) be the tax amount.
2. The tax rate as a decimal is \( 5.5\% = 0.055 \).
3. The shirt price is \( 29.00 \).
The formula for the tax can be expressed as:
\[
T = P \times R
\]
Where:
- \( T \) is the tax amount.
- \( P \) is the price of the shirt ($29.00).
- \( R \) is the tax rate (0.055).
Now you can set up the proportion based on this:
\[
\frac{T}{P} = R
\]
Substituting the known values into this proportion gives:
\[
\frac{T}{29.00} = 0.055
\]
This proportion can be used to find the tax amount \( T \). Just multiply both sides by \( 29.00 \) to solve for \( T \):
\[
T = 29.00 \times 0.055
\]
Thus, the proportion you use to find the tax is:
\[
\frac{T}{29.00} = 0.055
\]
1. Let \( T \) be the tax amount.
2. The tax rate as a decimal is \( 5.5\% = 0.055 \).
3. The shirt price is \( 29.00 \).
The formula for the tax can be expressed as:
\[
T = P \times R
\]
Where:
- \( T \) is the tax amount.
- \( P \) is the price of the shirt ($29.00).
- \( R \) is the tax rate (0.055).
Now you can set up the proportion based on this:
\[
\frac{T}{P} = R
\]
Substituting the known values into this proportion gives:
\[
\frac{T}{29.00} = 0.055
\]
This proportion can be used to find the tax amount \( T \). Just multiply both sides by \( 29.00 \) to solve for \( T \):
\[
T = 29.00 \times 0.055
\]
Thus, the proportion you use to find the tax is:
\[
\frac{T}{29.00} = 0.055
\]
