Answer 2

$637.04

Explanation:

We have been given that sales tax in the state of Connecticut there is 6.35% on all goods purchased. We are asked to find the total cost of television including state sales tax.

The total cost of the television would be $599 plus 6.35% of $599.

`\text{Total cost of the television}=\$599+(\$599* (6.35)/(100))`

`\text{Total cost of the television}=\$599+(\$599* 0.0635)`

`\text{Total cost of the television}=\$599+\$38.0365`

`\text{Total cost of the television}=\$637.0365`

`\text{Total cost of the television}\approx \$637.04`

Therefore, the final bill including state sales tax would be $637.04.
