Kendrick Schmidt · Answer 1

76+76 (.056) = 76+4.256=80.256. Rounding to the nearest hundredth of a cent, you would pay $4.26 cents in tax for a total of $80.26

Bruce · Answer 2

To find this answer, you need to ask your self what is 5.6% of $76 dollars. You find out by turning 5.6% into a decimal and then multiplying the decimal by $76 dollars.

So 5.6% =.056 as a decimal so now we multiply that by 76 ...056 x 76 = 4.256

Now we have to round 4.256 to the nearest hundredth, which would be $4.26. There would be $4.26 cents tax on an item that cost $76 dollars.
