Bellbottoms · Answer 1

The total for the online purchase is $105.59. Assuming that the product is only $99 and the usual charge for express shipping is around 4.9%, so the total for online purchase should be:

$99 (1 + 0.049) = $103.85

Getting the difference from the billed purchase:

$105.69 - $103.85 = $1.84 which is close to $1.85

So, the answer is:

c. Kito has been over charged by $1.85 for his purchase

Kito makes on online purchase of a guitar case for $39.99, a tuner for $24.99 and picks for $26.99. Taxes are 6% of the total purchase price. Shipping is $8.20-add up the total: 39.99 + 24.99 + 26.99 = 91.97 - calculate the sales tax: 91.97 x 0.06 = 5.5182 - add in the sales tax: 5.5182 + 91.97 = 97.4882 - add in the shipping cost: 97.4882 + 8.20 = 105.6882

And you get $105.69 which is option A. Kito has been billed correctly
