Question

You are visiting one of the following states: Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin, or Wyoming. Each has a state sales tax on most items that are for sale in stores. While you are visiting, you decide to buy a board game to play with your hosts. The cost of the game is between $10 and $20, and it is not a whole dollar amount. 7th grade

Answer 1

First, let's find the amount of sales tax:

Sales tax = cost of the game * sales tax rate

Sales tax = $15 * 7% = $1.05

Then, we can calculate the total cost of the board game:

Total cost = cost of the game + sales tax

Total cost = $15 + $1.05 = $16.05

Therefore, the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, is $16.05.
