A price total of $1,500 is subject to a 5% sales tax. What is the amount due after tax?
A.
$1,625
B.
$1,575
C.
$75
D.
$1,750
To find the amount due after tax, we need to add the sales tax to the original price.
Sales tax = 5% of $1,500 = $75
Amount due after tax = Original price + Sales tax = $1,500 + $75 = $1,575
Therefore, the amount due after tax is $1,575.
The correct answer is B. $1,575.
To find the amount due after tax, we need to calculate the sales tax first and then add it to the original price.
First, let's calculate the sales tax:
Sales Tax = Original Price * Tax Rate
Original Price = $1,500
Tax Rate = 5% = 0.05
Sales Tax = $1,500 * 0.05 = $75
Next, let's find the amount due after tax:
Amount Due = Original Price + Sales Tax
Amount Due = $1,500 + $75 = $1,575
Therefore, the amount due after tax is $1,575.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) $1,575.
To calculate the amount due after tax, we need to add the sales tax to the price total.
The sales tax is 5% of the price total, which means we need to find 5% of $1,500. To find 5%, we can multiply the price total by 0.05.
So, 5% of $1,500 = $1,500 * 0.05 = $75.
Now, we can add the sales tax to the price total to find the amount due after tax.
Amount due after tax = Price total + Sales tax = $1,500 + $75 = $1,575.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, $1,575.
