Question

david is buying a cheese wheel priced at $650 before tax. the store charges 8% sales tax. what is the total price including tax, david pays for the cheese wheel?

Answer 1

I think he pays $702.

Basically,

650 • .08 (move the decimal over two to the left, that’s what you get) = 52. Then I did 650 + 52 and got $702.
