Drew wants to buy exercise equipment that costs $140 and the sales tax is 5.75% what is the total cost of the equipment

Answer 1

$148.05

Explanation:

You need to find the sales tax first. To do that you turn 5.75 into a percentage decimal, 0.0575. Next, you multiply 140×0.0575 which equals 8.05, this is our sales tax. Finally, you add the sales tax to the original cost, 140+8.05 which equals 148.05.
