Question

Last but not least! Don't forget the food sales tax of 4%!
Add that onto the total from question #8 to get your final total. SHOW YOUR WORK. 24.07

Answer 1

To calculate the final total including the food sales tax of 4%, you can follow these steps:

1. **Original Total**: Start with the amount given in question #8, which is $24.07.
2. **Calculate Sales Tax**:
- The sales tax is 4% of the original total.
- To calculate this, multiply the original total by 0.04:

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 24.07 \times 0.04 = 0.9628
\]

3. **Round the Sales Tax**: Depending on your rounding preference (usually rounded to two decimal places for currency), we round $0.9628 to $0.96.

4. **Add Tax to Original Total**: Now, add the sales tax to the original total to get the final total:

\[
\text{Final Total} = 24.07 + 0.96 = 25.03
\]

5. **Final Answer**:

\[
\text{Final Total} = \boxed{25.03}
\]
