Answer 2

Hi there!

The tax on the spaceship is 8% of 15.99

The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign.

8% of 15.99 = 8% × 15.99

8% = 0.08

8% × 15.99 = 0.08 × 15.99

0.08 × 15.99 = 1.2792

15.99 + 1.2792 = 17.2692

Your answer is: The final price including tax for the spaceship is about $17.27

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
