a new pair of nike cost $137.50 plus 4.5 sales tax. what is the total cost of the sneakers?

Respuesta :

With sales tax, you divide it by 100 and add 1.
4.5÷100
.045+1
1.045
Now multiply the price of the item alone.
137.50×1.045
143.6875
Now round the the hundredths place.
143.69
The total cost of the sneakers is $143.69.
