Jim bought some nice running shoes for $216. The sales tax is 6.5% and he is paying cash with bills only because
he doesn't have any change. What is the least amount
he should give the cashier?

I believe the answer is $ 231.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

I might be wrong, but please don't hate me if I am!!

First I found the sales tax of the nice running shoes by multiplying the price of the shoes by the sales tax:

216 * 6.5% = 14.04

Then I added the sales tax to the price of the nice running shoes:

$ 216 + $ 14.04 = $ 230.04

Since Jim doesn't have any change and can only pay in cash, you would round $ 230.04 to the nearest dollar:

$ 230.04 is rounded to $ 231.00 :D

the answer is su.k.my? ? co.kc
