1. Beau buys a skateboard with a price tag of $82.50. The tax rate
is 8%. How much does he pay, including tax?

Answer 1

Beau pays a total of $89.10, including tax, for the skateboard.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Beau pays, including tax, we need to calculate the tax amount and add it to the price of the skateboard. The tax rate is 8%, so we can find the tax amount by multiplying the price of the skateboard by 8% (or 0.08).

The tax amount = $82.50 * 0.08 = $6.60.

To find the total amount Beau pays, including tax, we add the tax amount to the price of the skateboard:

Total amount = $82.50 + $6.60 = $89.10.

Therefore, Beau pays a total of $89.10, including tax, for the skateboard.
