Answer:
Therefore the total sale tax will be $ 8.6934
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, Eric bought a suitcase for $39.95, a garment bag for $79.95 and briefcase for $26.99.
The sale tax on the above items is 6%.
6% sale tax means if a item price $100 then sale tax is $6.
[tex]\textrm{sale tax of a item}=\frac{\textrm{price of the item}}{100}\times 6[/tex]
The sale tax of the suitcase is [tex]=\$( \frac{39.95}{100}\times 6)[/tex]
=$ 2.397
The sale tax of the garment bag [tex]=\$( \frac{79.95}{100}\times 6)[/tex]
=$ 4.797
The sale tax of the briefcase [tex]=\$(\frac{24.99}{100}\times 6)[/tex]
=$ 1.4994
Therefore the total sale tax will be = $(2.397+4.797+1.4994)
=$ 8.6934
