How much sales tax does Yuki pay for her handbag purchase?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$18.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that price before tax = $220

State sales tax rate = 4.6%

Dollar amount of state sales tax,

= 4.6% x $220

= 0.046 x 220

= $10.12

County sales tax rate = 3.65%

Dollar amount of state sales tax,

= 3.65% x $220

= 0.0365 x 220

= $8.03

Total amount of sales tax = $10.12 + $8.03 = $18.15
