Question

Ms.stoner purchased computer for 1,150. If the sales tax is 7.5 what is the total purchase?

Answer 1

$1,236.25‬

Explanation:

Since sales tax is 7.5% of the purchase, and since the pc costs 1,150, take 7.5% of 1,150, and add 1,150 and the new value together.

7.5 / 100 = 0.075

1150 * 0.075 = 86.25

1150 + 86.25 = 1236.25
