Darius lives in ohio and pays 5.5% in sales tax. if he just bought a sweatshirt that cost $24, what was the total amount he paid for the sweatshirt, including sales tax?

In this question, we are required to find the total amount he paid to buy the shirt.

It is given that sales tax is 5.5 % over the amount paid.

The cost price of the shirt = $ 24.

The total amount will be = Cost price + 5.5 % of Cost price

Or

Total amount paid = $ 24 × 1.055 (i.e. 100 % + 5.5 %)

Total amount = $ 24 + (5.5 % × $ 24)

Total amount paid = $ 24 + $ 1.32 = $ 25.32
