A laptop computer sells for $850. The sales tax is 7%. What is the total cost of the laptop? A.$850.07 B.$850.70 C.$909.50 D.$920

OpenStudy (ciarán95):

With a sales tax of 7%, we are adding on 7% of the selling price of the laptop to find its total cost. So, 100% (selling price) = $850 1% of the selling price = $850/100 = $8.50 107% of the selling price ($850 + sales tax) = $8.50 x 107 = $909.50 (C.)

or 850 + 850(.07) = your total cost
