Question

Fatima found a $129 prom dress at the department store. She also had to pay a 6.5% sales tax. What was the total cost of the prom dress?

Answer 1

137.385

Explanation:

What is 6.5% of 129?

First, you have to change 6.5% to a decimal which is 0.065.

Then, you have to multiply 0.065 times 129 which gives you 8.385.

Finally, you have to add that amount to 129 which gives you $137.385, and that is the total cost of the prom dress
