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
