Tom buys $22.00 plus 7% sales tax. His cousin buys a shirt for $18.00 plus 4% sales tax.
a. How much do Tom and his cousin pay for the shirts? Show your work
b. Who spent more on tax?
I don't know what I'm suppose to do here. Am I suppose to multiply the percents that I turn into decimal? Or do I divide? What do I do? Can y'all show me? Please!
For part a I got
Tom= 22 × 0.07= 1.54 + 22.00 = $23.54~ ~ Cousin= 18× 0.04= 0.72 + 18.00= $18.72
TA DAAAA!!!
But they said plus so...it's probably multiplying.
Multiplying: Tom= 1.54+ 22.00= 23.54
Cousin= 0.72+ 18.00= 18.72
Tom spent more on tax right? I think I'm right. Am I Ms. Sue?
You did it yourself! :-)
tom did
So Tom spent more tax?
What is the answer for a? Your answers are right. But you haven't finished the problem.
Your answer for b is correct.

Ms. Sue is so kind in helping people with questions. Ms. Sue, you have a new stan! :D
