Question

A calculator costs $32.00. if the sales tax is 6%, what is the total price?

Answer 1

Answer: $33.92

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the cost of calculator = $32.00

The percent of sales tax  = 6% =0.06

To find the tax amount multiply 0.06 to the cost of calculator, we get

$\text{Tax amount}=0.06\times32\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Tax amount}=\ 1.92$

Now, the total price of calculator is given by :-

$\text{Total price}=\text{Price of calculator+Tax amount}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Total price}=\32.00+\ 1.92\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Total price}=\ 33.92$

Answer 2

Here is how to solve the given problem above.
Given that the calculator costs $32 and has a tax of 6%, what we are going to do is to find how much is 6% of 32. So 32 times 0.06 is 1.92. So, we add this amount to 32 dollars, and the total price would be 33.92 dollars. Hope this answer helps.
