Answer:
Cost of the fishing rod is $54 .
Option (B) is correct .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
Daniel purchases a new fishing rod for $49.95.
The sales tax on his purchase is 8%.
8% is written in the decimal form .
[tex]= \frac{8}{100}[/tex]
= 0.08
Sale tax price = 0.08 × Cost of fishing rod
= 0.08 × 49.95
= $ 3.996
Total cost of fishing rod = Cost of fishing rod + Sales tax price
= $49.95 + $ 3.996
= $53.946
= $ 54 (Approx)
Therefore cost of the fishing rod is $54 .
Option (B) is correct .
