Question 754665: If you spend $8 at a dollar store. If the sales tax is 5%, how much will you have to pay in all?
Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5% of 8 dollars = 40 cents
5/100 x 8 = 0.4
Therefore you will have to pay
price + sales tax
$8 + 40 cents = $8 dollars 40 cents.
Hope this helps
