18. If Jeremiah buys a baseball glove for $44.99 and the sales tax is 6%, how much must he pay for the glove?
First, we need to find the amount of sales tax that Jeremiah will have to pay. We can do this by multiplying the cost of the glove by the sales tax rate:
Sales tax = 0.06 x $44.99 = $2.70
Now we add the sales tax to the cost of the glove to find the total price:
Total price = $44.99 + $2.70 = $47.69
So Jeremiah must pay $47.69 for the baseball glove.
Alternatively, we could find the total price directly by adding the cost of the glove and the sales tax as decimal fractions:
Total price = $44.99 + (0.06 x $44.99) = $44.99 + $2.70 = $47.69
Either way, the answer is the same: $47.69.
To find the amount Jeremiah has to pay for the baseball glove, we need to add the sales tax to the original price.
First, calculate the sales tax by multiplying the original price of the glove by the sales tax rate. Sales tax = Original Price * Sales Tax Rate = $44.99 * 6% = $44.99 * 0.06 = $2.6994.
Next, add the sales tax to the original price to find the total cost of the glove. Total Cost = Original Price + Sales Tax = $44.99 + $2.6994 = $47.6894.
Since currency is usually rounded to two decimal places, we can round the total cost to $47.69.
Therefore, Jeremiah must pay $47.69 for the baseball glove.
To find the amount Jeremiah must pay for the baseball glove, we need to calculate the sales tax and add it to the original price.
Step 1: Calculate the sales tax amount
Sales tax = (6/100) x 44.99
Sales tax = 2.6994 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Step 2: Add the sales tax to the original price
Total price = 44.99 + 2.6994
Total price = 47.6894 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, Jeremiah must pay $47.69 for the baseball glove.
