Question

PLEASE HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!

You buy a new video game for $60.
The sales tax is 8%.
What is the total cost for the game including sales tax?
Choices:
$4.80
$64.80
$68
$125.80

Answer 1

$64.80 because you multiply $60 by .08 which you get 4.80 which you then would add to the $60 which would be $64.80

Answer 2

$64.80

Explanation:

First, calculate the sales tax

Convert 8% into a decimal

8/100=0.08

Multiply the decimal by the cost of the game

60*0.08=4.8

$4.80 is just the tax, we have to find the total cost

Add the tax and the cost of the game

60+4.80=64.80

So, the total cost is $64.80

Hope this helps! :)
