Answer:
$18.15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that in Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 4.6% state sales tax and a 3.65% county sales tax. We are asked to find find total tax paid by Yuki for a handbag whose price is $220.
The total amount of tax would be [tex]4.6\%+3.65\%=8.25\%[/tex].
The amount of tax paid by Yuki would be 8.25% of $220.
[tex]\text{Tax paid by Yuki}=\frac{8.25}{100}\times \$220[/tex]
[tex]\text{Tax paid by Yuki}=0.0825\times \$220[/tex]
[tex]\text{Tax paid by Yuki}=\$18.15[/tex]
Therefore, Yuki paid an amount of $18.15 for sales tax for her handbag purchase.
