Question

PA. SALES TAX IS CHARGED AT THE RATE OF 6%. FIND THE TAX AND THE TOTAL PRICE YOU WOULD PAY FOR AN $860 STEREO.

Answer 1

Hey there.

So, to find out the total price, we can just use multiplication and some addition.

Price before sales tax: $860

860 · (6 ÷ 100) = $51.60 in sales tax

Add the two.

860 + 51.60 = $911.60

The tax you would pay for the stereo is $51.60 and the total price is $911.60.

Cheers~

Answer 2
