Question

A Yamaha dirt bike has a sticker price of

$1250. With a sales tax rate of 8.25%, what is
the total cost of the bike?

Can someone explain this

Answer 1

1353.13

Explanation:

1250*.0825= 103.125+1250= 1353.125

then round to the hundredths place to get 1353.13

You have to get 8.25% to a fraction to be able to multiply move the decimal point to the left twice.
