Hello! The tax rate is 8%. To find the total price paid for the television, let's first add 1 to the percentage in decimal form. 8% is 0.08. 1 + 0.08 is 1.08. Multiply that number by 330 to get 356.4. There. May pays a total of $356.40 for the television.

Note: When it comes to skipping straight to the total amount with tax, always add 1 to the tax rate (tax rate should be in decimal form). This will take you straight to the answer and save you some time and paper.
