Of the total amount that Jill spent on a shopping trip, excluding taxes, she spent 50
percent on clothing, 20 percent on food, and 30 percent on other items. If Jill paid a 4
percent tax on the clothing, no tax on the food, and an 8 percent tax on all other items,
then the total tax that she paid was what percent of the total amount that she spent,
excluding taxes?

A. 2.8%
B. 3.6%
C. 4.4%
D. 5.2%
E. 6.0%

Assume that Jill spent $100 on her shopping trip.

$50 on clothes x 4%= $2.00 tax
$20 on food x no tax = 0 tax
$30 on other things x %8 = $2.40 tax

$2.00 + $2.40 = $4.40

$4.40/$100.00= 4.4%

I think the answer here should be C.

clothes 50n/100 200n/100,00
food 20n/100 0
other 30n/100 240n/100,00

tax=440n/100,00
total amount = n

tax/total = 440n/100,00n = 440*100/100,00=4.4
