Question

An item is priced at $14.32. If the sales tax is 6%, what does the item cost including sales tax

Answer 1

$15.18

Explanation:

To find the sales tax, you would multiply $14.32 by 6%.

6% = 0.06

0.06*14.32 = 0.8592

Then add the sales tax to the original price to find how much the total costs.

0.8592 + $14.32 = $15.1792

Round $15.1792 to the nearest cent since its money.

So its $15.18

Explanation:

14.32 timex 6% or .06 is 0.8592. You add .8592 to 14.32 and get 15.1792 or 15.18 :)
