Question

Glenn Andrews recently bought a new motorbike for $3,950. If he had to pay 6 percent sales tax on the bike, what was the total cost of the bike?

Answer 1

The total cost for Glenn Andrews is the value of the motorbike plus the sales tax. The sales tax is found multiplying the value times the percent sales tax rate, divided by 100. This is, tax sales = $3950 * 6% = $ 3950 * 6 /100 = 237. And the total cost was $ 3950 + $237 = $4187.
