Question

Calculate the final cost of a television if the price is 1,700 and the taxes 3%

Answer 1

1) Given that the TV price is $1,700 and the tax = 3%

Then

2) We can solve this by this equation:

1700 x (1 +0.03) = The 1 refers to 100% and 0.03 to 3%

1700 x (1.03)

1751

3) So the final cost of that TV is $1751
