Question

You want to visit Mrs. Edgar's island on Animal Crossing so you need to pick up a Nintendo Switch (Lite) and a copy of the game. They cost $199.00 and $59.99 respectively on Amazon. With sales tax at 10% (on both items), how much will it cost to buy both? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To buy both the Nintendo Switch Lite and a copy of the game, you will need to spend $284.90 with sales tax included.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost of buying both the Nintendo Switch Lite and a copy of the game, we need to find the sum of their individual prices and then add the sales tax. The Nintendo Switch Lite costs $199.00, and the game costs $59.99.

First, we add the prices of the two items together: $199.00 + $59.99 = $258.99.

Next, we find the 10% sales tax by multiplying $258.99 by 0.1: 0.1 x $258.99 = $25.899 (rounded to $25.90).

Finally, we add the sales tax to the total cost: $258.99 + $25.90 = $284.89 (rounded to $284.90).

Answer 2

Answer:

It costs $284.90 to buy both

Explanations:

Cost of Nintendo Switch (Lite) = $199.00

Cost of the game = $59.99

Total cost of the two items = $199.00 + $59.99

Total cost of the two items = $258.99

Sales tax = 10% of $258.99

Sales tax = $25.899

Total cost = (Cost of the two items) + (Sales tax)

Total cost = $258.99 + $25.899

Total cost = $284.899 = $284.90
