large drink:0.99
What is the amount of tax you pay if the rate is 6% if its turned to a decimal and rounded to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount of tax you would pay on these items, first, you need to find the total cost of the items. Here are the item prices:

• Cookie dough bites: $2.99
• Phone charger: $10.25
• Chicken wrap: $7.29
• Large drink: $0.99

Now, let's add these amounts together:

$$\text{Total cost}=2.99+10.25+7.29+0.99=21.52$$

Next, we calculate the tax at a rate of 6%. To convert 6% to decimal, we divide by 100:

$$6$$

Now, we can calculate the tax:

$$\text{Tax}=\text{Total cost}\times \text{Tax rate}=21.52\times 0.06=1.2912$$

Finally, we round this amount to the nearest cent:

$$1.2912\approx 1.29$$

So, the amount of tax you would pay is $1.29.
