Avion buys a pair of shoes for $250 plus an 9% tax. Brandon buys a pair of shoes for $220 plus an 9% tax. Write the difference in the amount Avion and Brandon paid, including tax. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Respuesta :

The total amount that Avion paid (including taxes) is:

[tex]250(1+0.09)=250(1.09)=272.50[/tex]

dollars, and the total amount that Brandon paid (including taxes) is:

[tex]220\cdot(1+0.09)=220(1.09)=239.80[/tex]

dollars.

Then, the difference in the amount Avion and Brandon paid is:

[tex]272.50-239.80=32.70[/tex]

Answer: $32.70.
