In Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 4.6% state sales tax and a 3.65% county sales tax. Yuki is purchasing a handbag priced at $220 before tax.
How much sales tax does Yuki pay for her handbag purchase?
First, we need to calculate the total sales tax rate, which is the sum of the state sales tax rate and the county sales tax rate:
4.6% + 3.65% = 8.25%
Now, we can calculate the sales tax amount on the handbag purchase:
Total sales tax = $220 * 8.25%
Total sales tax = $220 * 0.0825
Total sales tax = $18.15
Therefore, Yuki pays $18.15 in sales tax for her handbag purchase.
