Question

Smiley bought a skateboard priced at 24 dollars. If the sales tax is 4%, how much did she pay?

• A. 23 dollars
• B. 25 dollars
• C. 23.04 dollars
• D. 24.96 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is D 24.96 dollars

Price of the skateboard = 24 dollars
Sales tax = 4%
= $\frac{4}{100}\times 24$
= 0.96 dollars

Price of the skateboard including sales tax = 24 + 0.96
= 24.96 dollars
