Donis bought a t-shirt for $15 and jeans for $35.50. If the sales tax rate is 8.25%. What is the sales tax for the t-shirt and jeans in dollars and cents? *

Explanation:

15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.

Take 8.25% of this to get

0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625

and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.

$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents

Extra info:

The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67

Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67

The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"
