a shopper paid $51.93 including tax for an item marked $48.99. what should she pay for another item marked at $75.00
C = 48.99 + 48.99x = 51.93
48.99x = 2.94
X = 0.06 = Tax rate expressed as a decimal.
C = 75 + 0.06*75 =
To calculate the price of the second item, we need to determine the amount of tax paid on the first item and then add it to the marked price of the second item.
To find the amount of tax on the first item, we subtract its marked price from the total price paid:
Tax = Total price paid - Marked price
Tax = $51.93 - $48.99
Tax = $2.94
Now that we know the amount of tax, we can add it to the marked price of the second item to calculate the total price she should pay:
Total price for the second item = Marked price + Tax
Total price for the second item = $75.00 + $2.94
Total price for the second item = $77.94
Therefore, she should pay $77.94 for the second item marked at $75.00.
