Question

"You bought a TV which costs $1000 an paid 8% sales tax. What is the TOTAL amount you paid after tax" (please show work i dont get it)

Answer 1

Cost of TV = $1000

Sales Tax = 8% x $1000
Sales Tax= 0.08 x $1000                | Rewrite 8% as decimal
Sales Tax = $80 

Price after tax = $1000 + $80         | Add cost of TV and tax
Price after tax = $1080
