Sally wants to purchase a new snowblower for $349.99. The local sales tax is 7 1/2%. How much sales tax will she have to pay round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the sales tax Sally will have to pay, we need to multiply the price of the snowblower by the sales tax rate.
Sales tax = $349.99 * 7.5% = $349.99 * 0.075 = $26.24925.
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, Sally will have to pay $26.25 in sales tax.
