A seat to a musical costs $5.50. To that amount must be added a 6% entertainment tax. How much money must you receive in total to give a customer a ticket?
5.5 * 1.06 = ?
5.83
Right.
To calculate the total amount of money you must receive to give a customer a ticket, you need to add the ticket price and the entertainment tax.
First, let's calculate the entertainment tax. To find 6% of the ticket price, you can multiply the ticket price by 0.06.
Entertainment Tax = $5.50 * 0.06 = $0.33 (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, you can add the ticket price and the entertainment tax to get the total amount:
Total Amount = Ticket Price + Entertainment Tax = $5.50 + $0.33 = $5.83
Therefore, you must receive $5.83 in total to give a customer a ticket.
