Answer:

The sales price of the ski poles is  $25. 128 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cost Price of ski trip = $24

The sales Tax = 4.7%

Now, 4.7% of the cost price $24 =  [tex]\frac{4.7}{100}  \times 24 = 1.128[/tex]

⇒ The sales tax on the ski = $1.128

SALES PRICE = COST PRICE + SALES TAX

                       =   $24 + $1.128

                       = $25. 128    

or, sales price   = $25. 128

Hence, the sales price of the ski poles is  $25. 128 .
