Question

Caroline bought a TV for 840 dollars. If the sales tax was 7%, how much did she pay?

• A. 700 dolllars
• B. 840 dollars
• C. 898.80 dollars
• D. 847 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is C 898.80 dollars

Price of TV = 840 dollars

Sales tax = 7%

7% of 840 dollars = $\frac{7}{100}\times 840$

= 58.80 dollars

Total price = 840 + 58.80 = 898.80

Hence, Caroline paid 898.80 dollars.
