Question

How do you find the total cost of a $12.95 DVD after the tax is added?

The tax rate is 6.25%.
A
Add $6.25 to $12.95.
B
Subtract $0.81 from $12.95.
C
Add $40 to $12.95.
D
Add $0.81 to $12.95.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

100%->12.95

6%->0.81 (estimated)

hence use 12.95 + 0.81 to find the total cost including tax

note: this answer would not be accurate as an estimated number cannot be used for further calculation
