Hugo just bought a new pair of jeans at the mall. The jeans cost $45.99 and tax is 7%. What will he have to pay for the jeans in total? (Round to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

To find out how much Hugo will have to pay for the jeans in total, we need to add the cost of the jeans to the tax.

The tax is 7% of the cost of the jeans, so we need to find 7% of $45.99.
7% = 7 / 100 = 0.07
0.07 * $45.99 = $3.22

Hugo will have to pay $45.99 + $3.22 = $<<45.99+3.22=49.21>>49.21 for the jeans in total. Answer: \boxed{49.21}.
