Kim bought a blouse for $17.16, a skirt for $28.19, and a purse for $35.14. The sales tax was 12%. If she hands the clerk a $100 bill how much will she get back?

Respuesta :

Based on the cost of her items, if Kim hands over $100, she will get back $9.85.

The total that Kim will pay includes the cost of all three items as well as the sales tax.

The total cost of the three items is:

= Blouse + Skirt + Purse

= 17.16 + 28.19 + 35.14

= $80.49

The total including the sales tax will be:

= Cost + (Cost x Sales tax)

= 80.49 + (80.49 x 12%)

= $90.15

The change she will get is:

= 100 - 90.15

= $9.85

In conclusion, Kim will get a change of $9.85.
