The items Pedro has selected at his local hardware store have a total cost of $130 before tax. If the sales tax is 8.25%, which is closest to the amount of sales tax Pedro can expect to pay?

$10.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Total cost of items = $130

Percentage of Sales tax = 8.25%

Sales tax = Sales tax percent × Cost

Sales tax = 8.25% × $130

Sales tax = 8.25/100 × $130

= 0.0825 × $130

= $10.725

= $10.7

Hello :3

To find your answer we need to divide. So, $41.67/60% = $69.45

Your answer is $69.45

Hope This Helps!
