Question

An item is priced at $14.08. If the sales tax is 6%, what does the item cost including sales tax? A. $22.53 B. $14.92 C. $0.84 D. $29.00

Answer 1

$14.92

Explanation:

To find the sales tax, you would multiply $14.08 by 6%.

6% = 0.06

0.06*14.08 = 0.8592

Then add the sales tax to the original price to find how much the total costs.

0.8592 + $14.08 = $15.1792

Round $15.1792 to the nearest cent since its money.

So its $14.92
