An item is priced at $13.76. If the sales tax is 4%, what does the item cost including sales tax? A. $14.45 B. $14.31 C. $13.96 D. $13.21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's either A or B. I, myself have never been good with percentages.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13.76 + 13.76(.04) = price with the sales tax

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do the math and solve this...right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you do is multiply the 13.76 with the .04 first, then add the other 13.76 to it, which gives you 14.3104, which you round to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.....the 13.76(.04) is the sales tax...add that to the price and you will get total price
