Answer:

$53.3

Step-by-step explanation:

40 + 10.5 + (7% of 40)

50.5 + (7/100 × 40)

50.5 + 2.8

53.3

Answer:

$53.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! First you would find the sales tax. I don't follow the formula so what I did was I divided 40 by 100 (to find out what 1% is), then multiplied by 107 to find what the cost + tax is. Finally, I added $10.50, which gave me the total of $53.50. Hope this helps!
