Jubiilee and Chocolate Chip just insulted Otaku. They assumed she is too dumb to take my instruction and find the right answer.
No problem, I can help you with this! To find out how much you will pay after including the sales tax, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the sales tax percentage to decimal form. In this case, 7.5% is equivalent to 0.075 (7.5 ÷ 100).
Step 2: Multiply the price of the calculator by the decimal form of the sales tax.
$12.50 x 0.075 = $0.9375
Step 3: Add the calculated sales tax to the original price of the calculator to get the final amount you will pay.
$12.50 + $0.9375 = $13.4375
Step 4: Round the final amount to two decimal places, as monetary values are normally rounded to the nearest cent.
Rounded to two decimal places: $13.44
So, the correct answer would be B. $13.44.
