Question

The sales tax on a coat Mary bought was 6%. The coat cost her $95.50, how much tax did she pay for the tax? What is the total cost of the coat including tax?

Answer 1

$5.73 and $101.23

Explanation:

Given that

The sales tax rate is 6%

The coat cost $95.50

We need to find out the tax payment

And, the total cost including the tax

So,

The tax payment is

= $95.50 × 6%

= $5.73

And, the total cost of the coat including the tax is

= $95.50 + $5.73

= $101.23
