Question

7%sales tax on a 45.75 sports Radiohow can I calculate the sales tax for the given purchase and then how can I calculate the total

Answer 1

To find the tax on the sports radio, we have to find the 7% of 45.75 like this:

`\begin{gathered} 7\text{ \% = 0.07} \\ \Rightarrow45.75\cdot0.07=3.2025 \end{gathered}`

This means that the 7% tax on the radio is $3.20 dollars

Now we have to add that to the price to get the total:

`45.75+3.20=48.95`

Therefore, the total price of the sports radio is $48.95
