Answer 2

$9.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax is a tax paid to a governing body for the sales of certain goods and services. Usually laws allow the seller to collect funds for the tax from the consumer at the point of purchase on the value of each item.

Cost inclusive of tax = Cost * (1+tax rate)

Cost inclusive of tax = 9.40 * (1+4/100)

Cost inclusive of tax = 9.40 * (1.04)

Cost inclusive of tax = 9.776

Cost inclusive of tax = $9.78
