In Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 5.6 state sales tax and a 3.65% county sales tax. Yuki is purchasing a handbag priced at $220 before tax.
How much sales tax does Yuki pay for her handbag purchase?
First, calculate the total sales tax percentage by adding the state and county sales tax percentages: 5.6% + 3.65% = 9.25%.
Next, calculate the total sales tax amount by multiplying the total sales tax percentage by the price of the handbag: 9.25% * $220 = $20.35.
Therefore, Yuki pays $20.35 in sales tax for her handbag purchase.
