Melinda just bought breakfast in a restaurant. The bill is $5.20. How much sale tax rounded to the nearest whole cent will she pay if the rate is 6%

Answer: 31 cents

Step-by-step explanation: Since sales tax is 6%, in decimals, that is 0.06. Then you multiply the total of the bill by the tax amount to get how much she will be paying in tax.

5.20 x 0.06 = 0.312

Then you round to the nearest hundreth since you can't have a fraction of a cent to get 0.31
