Answer 2

$702

Explanation:

To find the total price of the cheese wheel that David is buying, we need to multiply the original cost to sales tax first.

Original Cost = $650

Sales Tax Percentage= 8% or 0.08

Now let's solve for how much the sales tax is.

Sales Tax = 0.08 x 650

Sales Tax = $52

Now to get the price including the tax, we simple add the original cost to the sales tax.

Total Price = $650 + $52

Total Price = $702

So the cheese wheel that David bought is $702 with tax included.
