Problem
Solve the problem. In Amy's state, the sales tax rate is \( 1.5 \% \) for the city and \( 5.75 \% \) for the state. Find the total amount paid for 4 chairs at \( \$ 79 \) each. \( \$ 84.73 \) \( \$ 338.91 \) \( \$ 339.70 \) \( \$ 334.17 \)
Solution
Step 1 ：Calculate the cost of 4 chairs: 4 * $79 = $316
Step 2 ：Calculate the combined sales tax rate for city and state: 1.5% + 5.75% = 7.25%
Step 3 ：Calculate the sales tax amount and total amount paid: $316 * (1 + 7.25%) = \( \$ 339.70 \)
