A store sells shirts for $25 each. What is the cost of 6 shirts, including tax if the tax rate is 8%?

Answer 1

25x1.08 will give you the price for one shirt including tax, this gives you $27

27x6=162

Final answer=$162

Answer 2

$162

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of 6 shirts, including tax, we first need to calculate the amount of tax per shirt. We can do this by multiplying the tax rate by the original price of the shirts:

Tax amount per shirt = Tax rate × Original price

= 8% × $25

= 0.08 × $25

= $2

Now, we can add the tax amount to the original price to get the final cost per shirt :

Final cost per shirt = Original price + Tax amount

= $25 + $2

= $27

Therefore, the cost of 6 shirts, including tax, is 27 × 6 = $162.
