Jim bought a pair of shoes for $50 and laces for $1. If the sales tax is 7%, how much tax must he pay?

Question

a) $3.57
b) $350
c) $0.36
d) $35.70

Answer 1

You mean how much must he pay for tax. Let's not
be ambiguous. .07(51)= 3.57

Answer 2

1) add $50 and $1= $51
2) Now, in order to get the tax amount, you have to multiply $51 by 7% tax.
3) change the 7% tax into a decimal so that you can multiply it.
4) $51 x .07= $3.75 (I used a calculator, but you could do it with pencil and paper as well.)
so, ur answer = $3.75 as your tax.

(by the way, that would = $54.57 as a total of the amount he must pay all together.)

Answer 3

50 = Cost of shoes

1 = cost for laces

51 = Total cost

7 = Percent charge for taxes

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

First convert 7% to decimal

Divide 7 by 100 and remove the % sign

7 / 100 = 0.07

Multiply 51 times the decimal

51 x 0.07 = 3.57

The answer is : Taxes on $ 51 is $ 3.57

- - - - - - - - - - s-

Answer 4

a. $3.57
$50+$1=$51
$51 x .07(% converted to decimal) = $3.57

Answer 5

shoes- 50 dollars + laces- 1 dollar = 51 dollars

51 dollars x .07 = 3.57 dollars

Answer 6

I suppose answer a) $3.57 is correct, if you have to pay tax for both the shoe and the lace.

Answer 7

$50+$1=$51*.07= $3.57

a.

Answer 8

7% of (50+1) can be translated in maths language as
(7/100)*(50+1), i.e., 0.07*51=3.57
hence (a) is correct

Answer 9

A subtotal of $51
A tax of $03.57
A total of $54.57
Unless he uses WaMu in which case he will end up paying many times that amount

Answer 10

(50+1)*(.07)=3.57

Choice (A)
