Question

You decide that you want to buy a new laptop computer for the start of the new school year. You go to Top Notch Electronics to make your purchase. The computer that you buy costs $600 but you also have to pay a 6.25% sales tax on your purchase. How much do you owe to Top Notch Electronics?

Answer 1

Since the tax is 6.25%, make it into a decimal which is .0625 then multiply by 600 to get 37.5, then add it to the 600 and the answer is .... $637.5 Yw (:

Answer 2

$ 637.5

Explanation:

Data:

Let the price of the laptop be:

original price = $ 600

The sales tax = 6.25 %

= 0.0625

The sales tax will be = 0.0625 ($ 600)

= $ 37.5

The new price will be = original price + sales tax

= $ 600 + $ 37.5

= $ 637.5
