Question

What is the total cost of a $12.60 item plus 7% sales tax?

Answer 1

To take a percent, move the decimal point of the percent two places to the left. 7% = 0.07

Then multiply:

12.60 • 0.07 = 0.88

12.60 + 0.88 = 13.48

The total cost is: $13.48

Answer 2

7% = 0.07
12.60 * 0.07 = 0.88
12.60+0.88 =13.48
$13.48
I hope this helps;)
