5.5% = 0.055
22 * 0.055 = 1.21
22 + 1.21 = 23.21
Answer is D
Answer:
D. $23.21
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Sondra lives in Nebraska and pays 5.5% in sales tax. She just bought a belt that cost $22.
The total amount paid by Sondra for the belt will be equal to cost of belt plus 5.55 of the cost of the belt.
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Sondra}=\$22+(\frac{5.5}{100}\times \$22)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Sondra}=\$22+(0.055\times \$22)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Sondra}=\$22+\$1.21[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total amount paid by Sondra}=\$23.21[/tex]
Therefore, the total amount paid Sondra for belt is $23.21 and option D is the correct choice.
