Answer: $31.45
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The price of a pair of pants is $29.95.
The sales tax is 5% = 0.05
Required formula :
Total cost = Price + sales tax percent × Price
Total cost= Price (1+Sales tax percent)
i.e. Total cost of the pair of pants= 29.95 (1+0.05) =29.95(1.05)=31.4475 ≈ 31.45
Hence, the total cost of the pair of pants = $31.45
