Sales tax = 8% = 0.08 (8% as a decimal is 0.08)

Cost of new Video game = $59.99

Sales tax in dollars = Cost of game x 8% in decimal form

$59.99 x 0.08 = $4.7992

Sales tax = $4.7992(dollar form of 8%)

Total cost = Cost of game + Sales Tax (dollar form of 8%)

= $59.99 + $4.7992 = $64.7892

Total: $64.7892


Hope this Helps! :)
