Question

William is planning to buy a guitar for $35.95. The sales tax rate is 8.25%. He wants to be sure he has enough money. How much will the guitar cost, including sales tax?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much will the guitar cost, including the sales tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:

8.25% of $35.95 = 8.25% * 35.95 = 8.25/100 * 35.95 = $2.97

$35.95 + $2.97 = $38.92

The correct result would be $38.92.
