Question

Answer 1

$702

Explanation:

Answer 2

702

Explanation:

We can convert the sales tax to a fraction by dividing by 100:

`=8/100=2/25`

To determine the total price after tax, we must determine the price taxed:

`=650*(2/25)=1300/25=52`

Therefore to obtain the total price we must add the taxed price to the cheese wheel price before tax.

`=650+52=702`

The total price is $702
