Question

A cell phone costs ​$448​, a battery charger costs ​$14​, and batteries cost ​$7. What is the sales tax and total price for purchasing these items if the sales tax rate is 6​%

Answer 1

Add all 3 costs to find the total cost before taxes.

448 + 14 + 7 = $469

Turn the percentage into a decimal.

6% = 0.06

Multiply the sales tax to the total cost.

0.06 * 469 = $28.14 (sales tax)

Add to the total price.

469 + 28.14 = $497.14 (total price after taxes)

Best of Luck!
