Louisa purchased a new snake for $199.00. Sales tax is 7.25%. What is her total bill?

Question

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To find the total bill, we need to add the amount of sales tax to the purchase price.
The amount of sales tax can be found by multiplying the purchase price by the sales tax rate.
Sales tax = $199.00 * 7.25% = $14.43
The total bill is the purchase price plus the sales tax.
Total bill = $199.00 + $14.43 = $213.43
