Question

The robotics team purchased 3 androids for the purpose of programming. Each of the robots was $398, which included tax. If the tax rate is 8%, what is the TOTAL TAX to be paid?

Answer 1

$95.52

Explanation:

Number of robots = 3

Cost of each robots = $398

Tax rate = 8%

Amount of tax of each robots = 8% of $398

= 8/100 × $398

= 0.08 × $398

= $31.84

TOTAL TAX to be paid = Amount of tax of each robots × Number of robots

= $31.84 × 3

= $95.52

TOTAL TAX to be paid = $95.52
