Steve buys a wallet that costs $35.00. He pays 10% sales tax. How much does he pay for the wallet with tax? A. $48.50
B. $38.50
C. $18.50
D. $45.50

B. $38.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of item (before tax) is 100% of the price of the item since 100% means the whole amount.

The tax is 10% of the original price, so add 10% to 100% making it 110%.

The total price including tax is 110% of the original price.

We need to find 110% of $35.00.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

110% of $35.00 = 110% * $35.00

Change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

110% becomes 1.10 as a decimal

110% of $35.00 = 110% * $35.00 = 1.10 * $35.00 = $38.50

B. $38.50
