Question

Taylor went shopping for a new camera. Sales tax where she lives is 4.5%. The price of the camera is $28. Find the total price including tax. Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The total price including sales tax is $29.26 because whenever you are calculating the total cost of a purchase, the formula is going to be: total sale amount = selling price + sales tax.

So, if we use this formula to solve the problem, we have to figure out how much the sales tax adds which is $1.26.

Now, we have to add that amount to the original price.

28 + 1.26 = 29.26

Therefore, the final price (including sales tax) is $29.26.

Answer 2

29.30

Explanation:

Note:

4.5 as a decimal is 0.045

So You can multiply 4.5% by 28 or 0.045 by 28 Either way work.

28 x 4.5%=1.26

28+1.26=29.26

Rounding:

29.30
