Answer: 951

====================================================

Work Shown:

3/10 = 0.3

3 & 3/10 = 3 + 3/10 = 3 + 0.3 = 3.3

(3 & 3/10) % = 3.3%

3.3% = 3.3/100 = 0.033

3.3% of 921 = 0.033*921 = 30.393 which rounds to 30.39

The amount of tax is $30.39, which adds onto the price $921 to get

921+30.39 = 951.39

Round this to the nearest dollar to get 951

-------------

A slight shortcut

3.3% + 100% = 0.033 + 1.000 = 1.033

Multiply 1.033 with 921 to get 1.033*921 = 951.393 which rounds to 951

Note that 951 is closer to 951.93, even though it's always a good idea to round up to make sure you clear the hurdle. For the sake of this problem, we'll just stick to 951.
