Answer:
The cost with tax is $66.49
Step-by-step explanation:
100% = 53
53 ÷ 100 = 0.53
4.77 ÷ 0.53 = 9% (sales tax)
100% = 61
109% = 61 + sales tax
61 x 1.09 = $66.49
Answer:
He would pay $5.49.
Step-by-step explanation:
Edward paid $4.77 in sales tax on an item that cost $53 before tax.
Percentage of sales tax given on the item = [tex]\frac{4.77}{53}[/tex] × 100
= 0.09 × 100
= 9%
9% sales tax of an item that cost 61.00 = [tex]\frac{9}{100}[/tex] × 61
= 0.09 × 61
= $5.49
He would pay $5.49 in sales tax for an item that cost $61.00 before tax.
