Question

Angela wants to buy a slice of cake for $8. if the tex is 7.5% how much will she have to pay in tax

Answer 1

To calculate the tax Angela will have to pay for the slice of cake, you can use the following formula:

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

In Angela's case:

- Price = $8
- Tax Rate = 7.5% = 0.075 (as a decimal)

Now, plug in the numbers:

\[
\text{Tax} = 8 \times 0.075 = 0.6
\]

So, the tax will be $0.60.

To find the total amount Angela will pay, add the tax to the original price:

\[
\text{Total} = \text{Price} + \text{Tax} = 8 + 0.6 = 8.6
\]

Therefore, Angela will have to pay a total of $8.60.
