You buy a chocolate and a vanilla cupcake from a bakery. Each cupcake cost $3.50. What would be your total if you were charged 8% sales tax?

Sagot :

You would be charged $7.56 for the two cupcakes

Answer:

  • 43.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

  • We used $3.50 on both cupcakes.
  • We are charged with a 8% sales tax.

In this case:

  • We need to find out what 3.50 is 8% of what.

Now, we can solve:

  • 3.50 ÷ 0.08 (we do division for this)
  • = 43.75

The new cost is $43.75.
