In Las Vegas, Nevada, stores charge a 4.6\%4.6%4, point, 6, percent state sales tax and a 3.65\%3.65%3, point, 65, percent county sales tax. Yuki is purchasing a handbag priced at \$220$220dollar sign, 220 before tax. How much sales tax does Yuki pay for her handbag purchase?

$18.15

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we can add the percentages because they are taken of the same number.

The state sales tax, 4.6%, will be taken of $220, the purchase price.  The county sales tax, 3.65%, will also be taken of $220, the purchase price.  Since they are being taken of the same number, we can add the percentages:

4.6+3.65 = 8.25%

Now we can take 8.25% of 220:

8.25% = 8.25/100 = 0.0825

0.0825(220) = $18.15
