Eber bought a new pair of baseball cleats for $64.95. The sales
tax is 5.5%. What is the total cost that Eber will pay?
Can someone help me ASAP please

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3.57

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the value we are looking for

64.95 is 100%

X=5.5%

64.95/x = 100%/ 5.5%

(64.95/x)*x(100/5.5)*x

64.95=18.181818181818

(18.181818181818) to get x

64.95/18.181818181818

3.57225=x

2sf= $3.57

Based on the cost of the baseball cleats and the sales tax, the total amount that Eber will pay is $68.52.

Eber will have to pay both the cost of the cleats and the sales tax:

= Cost of cleats + Sales tax

Sales tax:

= 64.95 x 5.5%

= $3.57

The total amount to pay is:

= 64.95 + 3.57

= $68.52
