A jacket is on sale for $48 in a Texas store. The sales tax in Texas is 6,25%.
How much does the jacket cost with sales tax included? *

Answer 1

$51

Explanation:

First, we can convert the tax to a decimal by dividing by 100.

6.25% = 0.0625

Then, we can calculate the sales tax by multiplying the original amount by the tax.

48 * 0.0625 = 3

Finally, we can add the sales tax to the original amount to get our final amount of

48 + 3 = 51
