An electronics store is selling a new TV for $640.00. If there is an 8% sales tax, what is the actual cost of the TV?

First convert the percent to decimal form by moving the decimal point two places to the left which equals 0.08. Then multiply that by the sale price of the TV pre tax ($640.00) which equals 51.2. Finally add 51.2 to the sale price of the TV which equals $691.20.
