All you have to do is multiply 199.00 by 5% or .05 
                          199 x .05 = 9.95
When you multiply these together you get the amount of the tax that will be added on to the taxless price. So to find the answer you just have to add 199.00 and 9.95 to get a total of $208.95

199.00+9.95= 208.95
