Answer 1

To calculate the sales tax for the snowblower, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} \]

Given:

• Price = $349.99
• Sales Tax Rate = 7.5% = 0.075

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Sales Tax} = 349.99 \times 0.075 = 26.24925 \]

Now, round to the nearest hundredth:

\[ \text{Sales Tax} \approx 26.25 \]

So, the sales tax Sally will have to pay is $26.25.
