Question

An item is priced at $14.29. If the sales tax is 8%, what does the item cost including sales tax?

Answer 1

First, you need to calculate the 8% of 14.29, for that, you multiply:

14.29 * 0.08
`\approx` 1.14

And now we can add to the first price the tax 14.29 + 1.14 = 15.43

The price is 15.43 dollars
