Question

$49.95 CD player 5%tax

Answer 1

Adding the tax?
 
to add taxes it requires only two steps:
1) multiply the price by the tax as a Decimal (tax must be in decimal form)
2) add what you get after multiplying to the original price
 So..
1) 49.95(.05) = 2.497
 
2) 49.95+ 2.497 = 52.447 round to 52.45

So the whole price is $52.45

**you can also round the 49.95 to 50 before doing the math to make it easier**
