Question

A baseball costs $4.00.If the sales tax is 5%,what is the total prics?

Answer 1

In order to get the total price, we can multiply the 4 dollars by .05 to find 5 percent of the object's cost and add it to the sales tax. So, .05 times 4 is 0.2, meaning there is a sales tax of 0.2 dollars. We add that to the four, so the total price is 4.20 dollars. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

First turn 5% into a number. That would be 0.05

Multiply .05 by 4

4*0.5= 0.2

4.00+ 0.20= 4.20 dollars
