Question 8 • Grade 7 Mathematics

Beth bought two pairs of earrings for 12 point 0 0 dollars each. She also had to pay 6 percent sales tax. What was her total bill?

Answer
A
25 point 4 4 dollars
B
38 point 4 0 dollars
C
12 point 7 2 dollars
D
19 point 2 0 dollars

Explanation

Two pairs at $12.00 each cost 2 × $12.00 = $24.00 before tax. The 6% tax is 0.06 × $24.00 = $1.44, so the total is $24.00 + $1.44 = $25.44. The correct choice is $25.44.
