Question

Suppose that the local sales tax rate is 6% and you purchase a computer for $1260.

Answer 1

Answer:

a.  $75.60

b.  $1335.60

Step-by-step explanation:

A.  First convert the percentage to a decimal.

6% = 0.06

Multiply the cost of the computer by the decimal to find the tax paid.

$1260 × 0.06 = $75.60

B.  To find the total cost, add the cost of the computer with the tax.

$1260 + $75.60 = $1335.60

Answer 2

A: $75.60
B: $1335.60
