Question

Sonja bought a new van for her business. The cost of the van was $35,000, and she had to pay 6% sales tax. What was the total cost of the new van, including tax?
Can someone explain how to get the answer

Answer 1

All we do is this:
We take the amount of money and multiply it by the tax applied:
$35000 × 0.06     (6%=$\frac{6}{100}$ = 0.06)
=2,100 is the value we get
We add this value to the original price:
$35,000+2,100= $37,100
$37,100
