Question

James is purchasing a new pair of AirPods for $199.99. If the tax rate is 9%, how much will he spend?

Answer 1

Given:

Price of new AirPods = $199.99

Tax rate = 9%

To find:

How much will he spend?

Solution:

We have,

Price of new AirPods = $199.99

Tax rate = 9%

Tax value = 9% of $199.99

=
`(9)/(100)* 199.99`

=
`17.9991`

Now,

Total money spend = Price of AirPods + Tax

=
`199.99+17.9991`

=
`217.9891`

`\approx 217.99`

Therefore, the total money spend by James is $217.99.
