Evelyn went shopping for a new pair of pants. Sales tax where she lives is 4%. The price of the pair of pants is $33. Find the total price including tax. Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To find the total price including tax, we first need to calculate the sales tax on the pants. The sales tax rate is 4%, and the price of the pants is $33.

1. Calculate the sales tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate} \] \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 33 \times 0.04 = 1.32 \]

2. Now, add the sales tax to the original price to find the total price: \[ \text{Total Price} = \text{Price} + \text{Sales Tax} \] \[ \text{Total Price} = 33 + 1.32 = 34.32 \]

Therefore, the total price including tax is $34.32.
