The sales tax rate is 5.7%. 1. Find the tax paid for a pair of earrings with a list price of $88. 2. What is the total cost of the pair of earrings? (1 point)

Answer 1

1. To find the tax paid, we can multiply the list price of the earrings by the sales tax rate:

Tax paid = $88 * 0.057 = $<<88*0.057=5.016>>5.016

The tax paid for a pair of earrings with a list price of $88 is $5.016.

2. The total cost of the earrings can be found by adding the list price and the tax paid:

Total cost = List price + Tax paid = $88 + $5.016 = $<<88+5.016=93.016>>93.016

The total cost of the pair of earrings is $93.016.
