A camera has a listed price of $801.99 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included.

Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary.​

Answer 1

$870.16 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:
Original cost = $801.99
Sales tax of 8.5%

In order to find the answer, we find 8.5% of the original cost of the camera. After that, we simply add that number to the original cost of the camera to find our answer.


`(8.5*801.99)/(100) =8.5*801.99=6816.915/100=68.16915`

`68.16915`

`9>5`

`68.17`

Sales tax is $68.17


`801.99+68.17=870.16`

Total price for the camera including tax is "$870.16."

Hope this helps.
