Answer: $96.44 would be your total after adding all of the tax.

Step-by-step explanation: How I find percentages is by putting them into fractions.

8.25/100 next to ?/75.50

If you put these fractions next to each other written down, with 8.25 over 100 and the unknown percent above the 75.50, you can then multiply 8.25 and 75.50.

8.25x75.50=622.875

next you divide 622.875 by 100

622.875/100=6.22875

you will need to round up at the hundreths spot. So the amount of tax you would pay is $6.23

Next you know that you need to find 18 percent of all of that so now you need to add the 6.23 and 75.50

6.23+75.50=81.73

now find 18 percent of 81.73

18/100 ?/81.73

multiply 18 and 81.73

18x81.73=1,471.14

divide

1,471.14/100=14.7114

round to the nearest hundreth

14.71

next add 14.71 to 81.73

14.71+81.73=96.44

So 96.44 is your total.
