Question

A DVD costs $18.99 plus 6.5% sales tax. What is the total cost if the DVD?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine the total cost of the DVD, you need to calculate the amount of sales tax and add it to the cost of the DVD.

The sales tax is equal to the cost of the DVD multiplied by the sales tax rate:

Sales tax = $18.99 * 6.5% = $1.23

To determine the total cost, you need to add the cost of the DVD to the sales tax:

Total cost = $18.99 + $1.23 = $20.22

So the total cost of the DVD is $20.22.
