Rounding to the nearest cent
2.54
52 * 7.25%
52 *.0725

Answer:
$8.12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Looking at the question
The question says tax will be added to the total purchase price, so not each of them individually.
Prices: $25, $35, $52
Tax rate: 7.25%
2. Solving
Percent to decimal = x/100
÷
· (this is the tax)
