Answer:
c. $403.13
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of lawnmower = $328.61
Cost of lawn sprinkler = $13.27
Cost of hose reel = $27.96
total cost of purchase without tax = [tex]\$328.61+\$13.27+\$27.96=\$369.84[/tex]
Taxes applied:
State tax = 5.5%
County tax = 1.5%
City tax = 2%
Total percent of taxes applies = [tex]5.5+1.5+2= 9\%[/tex]
Amount added as tax = [tex]\textrm{Total cost of purchase }\times\textrm{ Total percentage of tax applied}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]369.84\times 9\%[/tex]
⇒ [tex]369.84\times \frac{9}{100}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]33.29[/tex]
Tax amount = $33.29
∴ Purchase price including tax = Cost price + Tax amount = [tex]\$369.84+\$33.29=\$403.13[/tex] (Answer)
