Question

the price of a dress is 95.95 the state sales tax is 8.75% added then a 10.50 charge for shipping was added after the sales tax what was the total including tax n shipping cost

Answer 1

Cost of the dress = 95.95
Percentage of state sales tax = 8.75%
Amount of shipping charge that needs to be added after adding state sales tax = 10.50
Then
Amount of state sales tax that needs to be added to the amount = (8.75/100) * 95.95
                                                                                                        = 8.39
Then
Total cost including shipping charges and tax = (95.95 + 8.39 + 10.50)
                                                                         = 114.84
So the total amount that needs to be paid for the dress including tax and shipping charges is 114.84.
