Sales tax in your community is 7.5%. If you go to Becks and buy a polar pop for $0.99, slice of pizza for $2.25, and chips for $0.75, what amount will you pay once the sales tax is added to your purchase?

Answer:

$4.29

Explanation:

Sales tax is a type of consumption tax. It is levied by the government or an agency of the government on the sales. Taxes increase the prices of goods and services

Total amount paid = total price of items purchased + tax amount

total price of items purchased = $0.99 +  $2.25 + $0.75 = $3.99

Tax amount = 0.075 x $3.99 = $0.299

Total amount paid = $4.29
