Question

Max wants to buy a

Answer 1

Max will pay $96.93 in total for the DVD player.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the new DVD player is $89.75

The sales tax that max wants to pay in order to buy that new DVD player was 8% of the cost of the DVD player.

Now, to find the amount he needs to pay for the sales tax, 8% of the cost of DVD player must be calculated by the percentage formula.

Let us take 'x' as the sales tax amount.

Therefore, the equation is x = 8% of 89.75

⇒ $x = (8/100)\times 89.75$

⇒ $x = 0.08 \times 89.75$

⇒ $x = 7.18$

The money he needs to pay for sales tax is $7.18

To find the total money Max will pay for the DVD player :

⇒ Total cost = cost of DVD + Sales tax

⇒ 89.75 + 7.18

⇒ 96.93 dollars.

Max will pay $96.93 in total for the DVD player.
