Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

We are given that the price of popcorn is $11 and that the price of soda is $3.50.

We are also given that the tax rate was 7%.

We are asked to find the tax amount - in other words, we need to find 7% of the total of the entire transaction. We also need to find the total cost.

Solve

First, add together the price of the popcorn and the price of the soda:

[tex]\$11+\$3.50=\$14.50[/tex]

Then, convert 7% to a decimal by dropping the percentage sign and dividing the value by 100:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{7}{100} = 0.07[/tex]

Then, multiply the total by 0.07:

[tex]\$14.50 \times 0.07=\$1.01500\approx\$1.02[/tex]

Finally, add this tax to the initial cost to determine the total cost:

[tex]\$14.50+\$1.02=\$15.52[/tex]

Final Answer

Therefore, the tax amount is $1.02.

The total cost is $15.52.
