Question

The total cost of an item including sales tax is directly proportional to its price. If the total cost of a $32 item is $33.60, what is the total cost on a $55 item

Answer 1

$32 with 5% sales tax increases the price to $33.60. $55 with 5% sales tax added would equal a total cost of $57.75. The answer is $57.75.

Answer 2

I think it would be $56.60
