Answer:

A - $14.06

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Divide :

7 / 100 = 0.07

2) Multiply :

0.07 * 13.14 = $0.9198

3) Add :

0.9198 + 13.14 = $14.0598

4) Round to the nearest decimal :

So if you round you would get $14.06

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

7% of $13.14

To find the answer we simply use the formula to calculate percentage.

[tex]\frac{t\times i}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7\times13.14}{100} =91.98\div100=0.9198[/tex]
[tex]0.9198[/tex]
Round to the nearest cent:
[tex]0.9198[/tex]
[tex]9>5[/tex]
[tex]0.92[/tex]
Add the initial cost and the sales tax:
[tex]13.14+0.92=14.06[/tex]
[tex]14.06[/tex]

The items after a 7% sales tax costs "$14.06 dollars" or option A.

Hope this helps.
