Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

$27.99

Step-by-step explanation:

100/7.25% sales tax = 1.54 x 13.7931034483 = 21.2413793104

We did the example to prove that when accounting for fixed tax the price will be higher once tax of same percentage amount applied.

This proves 1.75% more in interest is a far lower price ($6.56 less)

Where we compare the price set for 5.5 as asked in the question.

100/5.5% sales tax = 1.54 x 18.181818181 =27.9999999987

=$27.99

We do not round up or down repeating numbers.
