A new laptop costs around $850. What
is a reasonable amount of sales tax you
would expect to pay (estimate)?

Answer 1

Depends on your sales tax rate where you live.

Lets call your sales tax rate X%

then it would be multiplied b y the $850 and that would be added back to the $850.

Example:

If your sales tax rate were 10%

then it would be .10 x $850 =$85

Now add the $85 to the $850 and your total would be $945

P.S. Some localities offer sales tax free weekends for school supplies.
