Question

The sales tax in one town is 8%, So, the total cost of an item can be written as c + 0.08. What is the total cost of an item that sells for $127

Answer 1

First you would want to figure out how much tax would be

127 × 0.08 = 10.16

Then you add the tax to the original price

10.16 + 127 = 137.16

And now you have the total cost of the product

137.16
