To find the sales tax amount, we can multiply the price of the snake by the sales tax rate:
$199.00 * 7.25% = $14.43
Adding the sales tax amount to the price of the snake will give us the total bill:
$199.00 + $14.43 = $213.43
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, Louisa's total bill is $213.43
To find the total bill, we need to calculate the sales tax and add it to the original purchase price.
Sales tax = 7.25% of $199.00
Sales tax = (7.25/100) x $199.00
Sales tax = $14.4275
To round this to the nearest hundredth, we round up because the hundredths digit is 4. So, the sales tax is $14.43.
Total bill = original purchase price + sales tax
Total bill = $199.00 + $14.43
Total bill = $213.43
Therefore, Louisa's total bill is $213.43.
To calculate Louisa's total bill, we need to add the sales tax to the cost of the snake.
First, let's calculate the amount of sales tax. The sales tax is 7.25% of the cost of the snake.
Sales tax = (7.25/100) * 199.00
To find the sales tax, divide 7.25 by 100 and then multiply this by 199.00:
Sales tax = (0.0725) * 199.00
Sales tax = 14.4275
Now, let's add the sales tax to the cost of the snake to find Louisa's total bill:
Total bill = Cost of snake + Sales tax
Total bill = 199.00 + 14.4275
Total bill = 213.43
So, Louisa's total bill is $213.43, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
