Question

The price paid for a 83.50 dollar chair with an 8 percent sales tax

Answer 1

$90.18 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:
Original cost = $83.50
Sales tax = 8%

In order to find the price paid for the chair, we find 8 percent of the original price. Then we add that number to the $83.50 for the chair and then we will have our answer.

`(8*83.5)/(100) =8*83.5=668/100=6.68`

Sales tax of the chair is $6.68.


`83.50+6.68=90.18`

Total cost of the chair after an 8 percent sales tax is "$90.18 dollars."

Hope this helps.
