The sales tax in Mike's home city is 8.25%. Mike buys a sweater for $49.95, two pair of slacks for $68.59 each, and a suit for $429.99. How much sales tax does Mike owe?

Answer: $50.91

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question;

Cost of sweater = $49.95,

Cost of slacks = $68.59 each,

Cost of 2 slacks = $68.59 * 2

= $137.18

Cost of suit = $429.99.

Total cost = $49.95 + $137.18 + $429.99 = $617.12

Sales tax = 8.25%

The sales tax that Mike owe will be:

= 8.25% * $617.12

= 0.0825 * $617.12

= $50.91

Mike will have to pay a sales tax of $50.91
