Tom buys a shirt for $22.00 plus 7% sales tax. His cousin buys a shirt for $18.00 plus 4% sales tax.
a. How much do Tom and his cousin pay for the shirts? Show your work.
b. Who spent more on tax? (3 points)
Is my answer correct:
B: Tom's cousin
**I already know A, thanks for your help!
Just because she got the answer wrong doesn't mean she is stupid. It's okay to get answers wrong it's what makes us human.
We could go see by the logical way....
tom's tax is 7%
cousin's tax is 4%
tom's price is higher than cousin's...
hmm... who has more tax?
1.07 * 22 = tom's price
1.04 * 18 = his cousin's price
then to see who spent more on tax,
0.07*22 = how much tom spent on tax
0.04*18 = how much cousin spent on tax
this the answer lame people who dont have a life yall been should answer but just worry about wrong thing here go the answer for people who need it
to find 7% of 22 which is .7 x 22 that equals 1.54
then add 1.54 to 22.00 to get 23.54
so Toms shirt was $23.54
4% of 12 is .04 x 18 which is 0.72
add the totals 18.00 + 0.72 = 18.72
ADD THE SHIRT TOTALS TOGETHER TO GET $42.26
answer to A: $42.26
god this site sometimes has the worst reply sections, still not as bad as youtube though.
Heey, guys! So, um, the answer posted by Knights is still correct, even in 2020. Also, I just wanted to put in there that I find it sad that Tom has a name, yet his cousin remains nameless. Who else here wants to name him Bob?
When were they exposed? People were legit giving her help me and tacofox13 are bullies and jerks
answer to B. Tom
Guys stop Delilah had nothing wrong just let her be also she just learned her mistake. And yes I'm here trying to help people out because I have the exact same question for Part 2 on the test so please don't throw beef, we all should respect to each other ♥ Also for part a I got the answer $20.00 because when you think about it tom have a totally of how much money? Tom buys a shirt for $22:00 plus 7% taxes meaning that I think he might have pay 7 cents or 7 more dollars in order to know the total we have to know how much money he has and but does 7% equal to.
The answer to B is Tom, I mean it's pretty obvious but if someone scrolled this far still unsure then here it is :)
follow what knight said!
WHY ARE WE ALL CALLING EACHOTHER STUPID WHAT THE HECK GUYS

OH and yes we should name his cousin bob
But what if his cousin is a girl?

What is the answer for A?
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry everybody! I meant Tom paid a higher tax.......so sorry!
You are guessing.
@Puro you really are stupid aren't ya? you do realize she/he/ guessed on purpose, came here and put the answer to see if it was wrong or not, then when was exposed tried to play it off like it was a mistake.
Delilah is stupid she was wrong and changed her Awnser after leaning the real Awnser and pretended her first answer was a mistake

Delilah how would you get those mixed up if you were telling the truth
