you go to a grocery store and buy a $2.50 bag of sugar and a sandwich for $1.75. The sales tax for your state is 7%. What is the total amount you with pay?

Answer: My guess is $4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

2.50 + 1.75 = 4.25 (This is the total of everything you bought)

4.25 x 0.07 = 0.2975 (0.2975 is 7% of 4.25 but because this is money I will round it to 0.30)

(0.30 is the tax so now add it to the original amount)

$4.25 + $0.30 = $4.55
