Question

A pair of jeans is sold for $28. If the sales tax is 6%, what is the total cost of the jeans including tax?

Answer 1

29.68

Explanation:

28 x 0.06 = 1.68

T = SP + ST

T = 28 + 1.68

T = 29.68

Answer 2

The total cost would be $29.68.

$28 + 6% = $29.68
$28 x 0.01 = 0.28
0.28 x 6 = $1.68
$28 + $1.68 = $29.68
