Step-by-step explanation:
Example
A phone has a listed price of $790 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 6.5% find the total cost of the phone with sales tax included. Round your answer to the nearest cent as required.

Step 1:
List price of the phone = $790
Sales tax rate = 6.5%
Step 2:
Sales tax = 6.5% of 790=0.065×790=51.35
Step 3:
Total cost of phone including sale tax = list price + sales tax
