Question

Sergio purchased 4 items for $1.50 each. Sales tax was 8.25%. What was the total price?

please explain if you can, thxs!

Answer 1

6.495.

Explanation:

The total cost of the items before tax was $1.50 * 4 = $<<1.54=6>>6.

The sales tax was $6 * 8.25% = $<<68.25*.01=0.495>>0.495.

So the total price was $6 + $0.495 = $<<6+0.495=6.495>>6.495.
