Question

A laptop has a listed price of $843.88 before tax if the sales tax rate is 7.25% find the total cost of the laptop with sales tax included

Answer 1

$905.06 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:

7.25% of 843.88

In order to find the answer, we use the formula to calculate percentages, then we add that answer to the initial cost of the laptop.


`(p* c)/(100)`

`(7.25*843.88)/(100)=7.25*843.88=6118.13/100=61.1813`

`61.1813`

`1 < 5`

`61.18`

Now add:

`843.88+61.18=905.06`

`=905.06`

Which means the laptop after a 7.25% sales tax costs "$905.06 dollars."

Hope this helps.
