You buy a new video game for $59.99 . The sales tax is 8% . What is the total cost for the game including sales tax?

Respuesta :

The answer would be $64.80 Your'e welcome. 

Sales tax = 8% = 0.08 (8% as a decimal is 0.08)

Cost of new Video game = $59.99

Sales tax in dollars = Cost of game x 8% in decimal form

                                   $59.99  x 0.08 = $4.7992

Sales tax = $4.7992(dollar form of 8%)

Total cost = Cost of game + Sales Tax (dollar form of 8%)  

                 = $59.99 + $4.7992 =  $64.7892

Total: $64.7892


 Hope this Helps! :)
