Question

Sindy bought a pair of jeans with a price tag of $68.00. She paid 8% sales tax. How much sales tax did she pay and what was her final price including tax?

Answer 1

To find sales tax, you need to find the percent of;

$68.00 * 8%

$68.00 * 0.08

= $5.44

$5.44 is the sales tax

Add the sales tax to the original amount:

$68.00 + $5.44 = $73.44

So the final price including tax is equal to $73.44.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sindy paid $5.44 in sales tax, and her total price was $73.44.

Sales Tax: 68 x .08= 5.44

Final Price: 68 + 5.44= 73.44
