Respuesta :

ANSWER: $13.76

Explanation:

We know the stuffed animal cost $12.50 and we know the sales tax is 10.1%. So we need to find 10.1% of 12.50. In math of means multiplication so it’s

10.1 x 12.50

Multiply like normal to get 1.2625

I’m assuming you round and get 1.26.

Now we know the sales tax and the price of the stuffed animal. But to know what it is after the sales tax we need to add.

1.26 + 12.50 = $13.76
The Answer is $13.76
