Question

Bo bought a few items for $93.84, not including tax. If the tax rate was 7%, what was the total cost of these items, including tax?

Answer 1

$100.14

Explanation:

This word problem wants you to solve; 7% of 93.84.

First you would turn 7% into a number which would be - .07

Of is just another word for multiplying so you would multiply .07 by 93.84

Which gets you 6.57 when you round but the question is asking how much would it be with tax.

So you add 93.84 and 6.57 which give you the answer of $100.14

Answer 2

Total cost is $100.41 ( $93.84 + $6.57)

Explanation:

Thinking Point: The total cost is the cost of the items PLUS the tax. 93.84 ∙ 0.07 = 6.5688 (round to “cents”) = $6.57

Hope this helped!
