Sally what’s 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 sales tax, we need to multiply the price of the snowblower by the sales tax rate as a decimal.

Sales tax = $349.99 * 0.075

Sales tax = $26.24925

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Sally will have to pay $26.25 in sales tax.
