there are 3 questions.
please help me find the total cost of each of the following items.
Solution
1. 5% of 19.95 = 5/100 X 19.95 = .9975
therefore total cost = 19.95+.9975 = $20.9475
2. 6% of 499 = 6/100 X 499 = 29.94
therefore total cost = 499 + 29.94 = $528.94
3. 5.5% of 3500 = 5.5/100 X 3500 = 192.5
therefore total cost = $3692.5
