Question

Elliot bought a bicycle which cost $600. In addition, he had to pay 3% sales tax. How much did he pay for the bicycle?

Answer 1

$618

Explanation:

$600 is the base sale cost

Another 3% is required on top of the sale price:

$600 x 3/100 of $600 = $18.00 (or 3%)

$600 + $18 = $618

Hope that helps
