Answer
Find out the total cost of a jacket at $55.80 with a 2.7% sales tax .
To proof
As given
cost of a jacket at $55.80 with a 2.7% sales tax
2.7% is written in the decimal form
[tex]= \frac{2.7}{100}[/tex]
= 0.027
2.7% of the $55.80 = 0.027 × 55.80
= $1.5066
Total cost = 55.80 + 1.5066
= $ 57.3066
= $ 57.31 (approx)
therefore the total cost is $ 57.31 (approx) .
Hence proved
