Michael buys a basket of mangoes on sale for $4 before tax. The sales tax is 12%. What is the total price Michael pays for the basket of mangoes? (( explain how to carry out the problem please ))
the basket of mangoes is $4, 4= 4/100= .04(one percent of $4), we then multiply that by 12, which gives us $.48, now we add $.48 to our original amount($4) and we get $4.48
