Mrs. Smith spent $67.40 on groceries. The tax rate is 2%. What is the amount of sales tax?

68.75

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the tax you multiply the total by the tax percentage 67.40 x .02 = 1.35

so the total for just tax is 1.35 so you add that to how much the groceries were originally

67.40+1.35=68.75

step-by-step explanation:

you divide the denominator by the numerator on both sides and if the quotients are equal then the fractions are equivalent

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
