Question

Find the sales tax and cost of a PS5 that costs $499. The tax rate is 7.25%. Round your answer to

the nearest cent.
a. What is the sales tax?
b. What is the total cost?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First make an equation.

y=0.0725(499)

This equation would solve for the sales tax.

y=36.1775 or 36.18 because you have to round it l.

To find the total cost, you would do 499+36.18= $537.18
