Question

Dress 40$ and tax 20% how much is dress

Answer 1

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

The dress's price is $40. That is 100% of the dress's price.

Since tax is 20%, you need to add 20% to the 100%.

100% + 20% = 120%

The total cost including tax will be 120% of the cost of the dress.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.

120% of $40 =

= 120% * $40

= 1.2 * $40

= $48
