A tent with a price of $165 is subject to a sales tax of 5%. What is the total price of the tent? Plz help me with a useful answer!

Answer 1

The total price of tent is $173.25 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The cost price of tent = $165

The percentage of sales tax added = 5%

So, The amount of sales tax for tent = 5% of cost price

I.e The amount of sales tax for tent = 5% × $165 = $8.25

Let The total price of tent = $x

Now, According to question

The Total price of tent = The cost price of tent + The amount of sales tax for tent

Or, x = $165 + $8.25

Or, x = $173.25

So, The total price of tent = x = $173.25

Hence ,The total price of tent is $173.25 . Answer
