Respuesta :

0.042(63.78) = $2.68 of tax

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a statement. We are asked to determine whether the given statement is true or false.

To find [tex]4\frac{1}{5}\%[/tex] tax on $63.78, we need to convert [tex]4\frac{1}{5}\%[/tex] into decimal by dividing 100 as:

[tex]4\frac{1}{5}\%=\frac{21}{5}\%=\frac{21}{5}\div 100=\frac{21}{500}=0.042[/tex]

Since to find  [tex]4\frac{1}{5}\%[/tex] tax on $63.78, we need to multiply $63.78 by 0.042, therefore, the given statement is false.
