Question

so what is it.....................................A mountain bike is priced at $413. If the sales tax is 6.5 percent, what is the cost to purchase the mountain bike? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

Answer 1

The full price is $413, but you also need to add 6.5% to the price. So you would multiply 413*1.065 = 439.845. Rounding to the nearest cent, you get $439.85
