27. You purchase 9.25 gallons of gasoline at $3.15/gallon. You also buy gum ($1.10) and windshield wiper fluid ($4.97). The state has a food tax of 4% and you give the clerk $30.00 cash. You pay the rest with your debit card. How much is charged to your debit card?
The answer is D. First calculate the gum price and add the tax since it is the only item that is taxed. Gum 1.10*1.04= 1.14 Gas 9.25*3.15=29.14 Wiper fluid = 4.97 Add = 35.25 Paid cash $30.00 Remainder $5.25
