The price of the laptop = $299.99
Given, sales tax = 6%
To find the amount for sales tax we have to find 6% of $299.99.
So the amount of sales tax =
6% of $299.99 = 299.99×(6/100) = (299.99×6)/100
= 1799.94/100 = 17.9994
So we have got sales tax = $17.9994
Therefore, the total cost for laptop including sales tax is selling price of laptop + sales tax.
Total cost for laptop = $299.99+$17.9994 = $317.9894
We have got the required answer.
Total cost for laptop is $317.9894
