Question

Mai bought a television for $330. The tax rate is 8%. How much did Mai pay for the television?

Answer 1

Mai paid $412.50 for the T.V.

Answer 2

All we have to do is convert the percentage to a decimal
(8% - 0.08)

Then times that decimal by the original price
0.08 x $330 = $26.40

And then add that to the original price
$26.40 + $ $330
= $356.4
