Lexis wants to buy a new snowblower for $315.55. The local sales tax is 6.5%. How much sales tax will she have to pay? Round to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the amount of sales tax Lexis will have to pay, you need to multiply the cost of the snowblower by the sales tax rate.

Sales tax = Cost of snowblower * Sales tax rate

Sales tax = $315.55 * 0.065

Sales tax = $20.50

Therefore, Lexis will have to pay $20.50 in sales tax.
