Question

Luke is purchasing 4 VR headsets at $249 each for raffle prizes. What is the total purchase price, including sales tax, if he purchased them in New York City where the state sales tax is 4% and the city and county taxes total an additional 4.5%?

Answer 1

$1080.66

Explanation:

4 Headsets @ $249 = $ 996.00

+ NY tax @ 4 % = 39.84

+ NYC tax @ 4.5 % = 44.82

Total = $1080.66

The total purchase price is $1080.66.
