14. violet is buying a $24 scarf. if sales tax is 7.25% and she hands the cashier $30, how much change will she get?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate sales - tax amount
$24\times7.25%=24\times0.0725 = 1.74$
Step2: Calculate total cost
$24 + 1.74=25.74$
Step3: Calculate change
$30−25.74 = 4.26$
Answer:
$4.26$
