Answer:   45-9=36  what we could do is first find out how much 1% is, 36÷1=0.36.  so  0.34×9=3.24    the final answer is 3.24

Euphemia · Answer

Answer:   $3.24   Step-by-step explanation:   First, we subtract the $9 from the $45, so that equals $36    9% of the 36% is added to the final price as tax    36 x 0.09 = 3.24
