Hello there! So, we find the total cost in dollars by multiplying the price of the cleats by the percent of tax. However, we first need to add 1 to the tax rate in decimal form. 6.5% is 0.065 in decimal form. Now add 1 to that number to get 1.065. Let's multiply. 59.99 * 1.065 is 63.88935 or 63.89 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. There. Darin will pay a total of $63.89.
Note: When it comes to finding the total price of something with tax, add 1 to the percentage rate in decimal form, and then multiply that number by the price to get the total amount. This will help you out, make things easier, and save time.
