Answer 2

Answer: The total cost of the model spaceship is $17.27

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to multiply the cost of the spaceship before tax (15.99) by the tax percentage (0.08).

15.99 x 0.08=1.2792

8 % = 8 /100= 0.08 decimal form

Now, we simply add the tax amount to the original price, to obtain the total cost.

15.99 +1.2792 =17.269 =$17.27 (rounded to the nearest cent)
