My state charges 5% sales tax on no food items. I'm buying a light bulb for $3.00, cereal for $.50, what is my total of bill
To calculate the grand total of your bill, you need to add the prices of the items and then calculate the sales tax.
First, let's calculate the subtotal by adding the prices of each item:
Light bulb: $3.00
Cereal: $2.50
Orange: $0.50
Subtotal = $3.00 + $2.50 + $0.50 = $6.00
Now, let's calculate the sales tax on the subtotal. In your state, the sales tax is 5%, so we can multiply the subtotal by 0.05 to find the amount of tax:
Sales tax = Subtotal x 0.05 = $6.00 x 0.05 = $0.30
Finally, to find the grand total, we need to add the subtotal and the sales tax:
Grand total = Subtotal + Sales tax = $6.00 + $0.30 = $6.30
Therefore, the grand total of your bill will be $6.30.
