Sally wants to purchase a new snowblower for $349.99. The local sales tax is 7.5%. How much sales tax will she have to pay? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To find the amount of sales tax, multiply the price of the snowblower by the sales tax rate:

349.99 * 0.075 = $<<349.99*0.075=26.24925>>26.25

Therefore, Sally will have to pay $26.25 in sales tax.
