D'Angelo bought two shirts at a special sale. He paid the full price of $19.99 for one shirt and got a second shirt of the same price for half off. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, how much sales tax did D'Angelo pay for the two shirts?

Sagot :

Answer: $2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought the second shirt for half off the first shirt's price. He therefore bought it at:

= 19.99/2

= $10.00

Total paid for both shirts is therefore:

= 19.99 + 10

= $29.99

Sales tax is 8.5% so he paid:

= 29.99 * 8.5%

= ‭2.54915‬

= $2.55
