Question

Gary buys a skateboard for
$145. What's the total cost
including 6% sales tax?

Answer 1

$8.6

Explanation:

The total tax is 8 dollars and 60 cents

Answer 2

$153.70

Explanation:

Sales tax is applied to things that are sold by a retailer. So if it says 6% tax is levied on the item, that means the total cost will be the initial cost of skateboard ($145) + sales tax (6% of 145) = 145 + 8.7 = $153.70
