Question 18 • POP Financial Math 26/27
The gas costs 12 × $2.89 = $34.68, and the taxable snacks cost $3.18 + $0.89 + $2.78 = $6.85. Sales tax on the snacks is $6.85 × 0.075 = about $0.51, so the total should be about $34.68 + $6.85 + $0.51 = $42.04. Leon paid $44.64, which is $2.60 too much, so he paid $2.60 too much for his purchase.
