Question

What is the total cost, including tax, of a $48 coat with 8% sales tax?

Answer 1

$51.84

Explanation:

The total cost of the coat is equal to the price listed on the price tag, plus tax.

The 8% tax applies to the price tag price.

`TC=price + tax`
`TC=$48+($48*0.08)`
`TC=$48+$3.48`
`TC=$51.84`
