Question

I purchased a new Apple iPad on Amazon for $249.00. The tax rate is 8.625%. What is the total purchase price of the iPad?

Answer 1

To find the total purchase price of the iPad, multiply the price of the iPad by the tax rate and add the tax amount to the price of the iPad.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total purchase price of the iPad, you first need to calculate the amount of tax. The tax rate is 8.625%, which means you need to multiply the price of the iPad by 0.08625. So, $249.00 x 0.08625 = $21.46. Next, add the tax amount to the price of the iPad: $249.00 + $21.46 = $270.46.

Answer 2

270.47625

Step-by-step explanation:

249 is the original price

(249/100) · 8.625 = 21.47625 the tax total

249 + 21.47625 = 270.47625
