Question

A shirt is on sale for $25 at a local department store. The sales tax equals 1/25 of the shirt price. What is the total cost of the shirt including sales tax?

Answer 1

`$26`.

Explanation:

The sales tax (`x`) can be calculated as:

`x=25xx1/25`

`x=1`

The total cost of the shirt will be the sum of the price and the sales tax:

`25+1=26`
