Question

Jimmy bought a refrigerator that cost $525 before tax. He paid 8% of this amount in tax. What was the total cost of the refrigerator including tax?

Answer 1

$567 after tax

Explanation:

first, let's multiply 525 by 0.08 because he paid 8% (0.08) of 525 in tax.

525(0.08)= 42

now, let's add them together, because the question asks for the total cost.

525+42=567

$567 after tax
