Question

An item is priced at $13.75. If the sales tax is 7%, what does the item cost including sales tax?

Answer 1

$12.78

Explanation:

I THINK you are supposed to multiply the original price (13.75) by the sales tax as a decimal (0.07) and then subtract that answer from, the original, amount.

Answer 2

divide 7/100 which is 0.07

multiply that by 13.75, and you get 0.96

13.75+0.96= $13.20

(this is including sales tax)
