Respuesta :
$130.8 - 9% can be written as 0.09, so 120 times 0.09 is 10.8, and then just add that to the $120 cost of the purse
Answer:
Given condition: Shalika bought a purse for $120 and the tax rate is 9%.
As per the given condition;
The amount of the purse is, $120.
Tax rate =9%
First find the the total tax she paid on the amount is equal to the 9% of $120 i.e,
[tex]\frac{9}{100} \times \$120 = \frac{9\times 12}{10}= \frac{108}{10} = \$10.8[/tex]
Now,
Total amount paid by Shalika = $120 +$10.8 = $130.8
