Question

Shelton bought a notebook priced at 3.40 dollars. If the sales tax is 7%, how much has he paid?

• A. 3.64 dollars
• B. 4.64 dollars
• C. 3.8 dollars
• D. 4.2 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3.64 dollars

Price of the notebook = 3.40 dollars

Sales tax = 7%
= $\frac{7}{100}\times 3.40$
= 0.238

Therefore, price of the notebook including sales tax = 3.40 + 0.238
= 3.638
= 3.64 dollars
