8025.?

jskhupmang · Answer

why is it 1.07? shouldn't it be .07?

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

No because it is sales tax so you add it to the total cost...it's the same as doing 75*0.07 and then adding that to 75, just a step easier ;)

anonymous · Answer

75 * 1.07 = 80.25

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

not that much lol 1.07*75 is indeed 80.25

jskhupmang · Answer

75*.07 = x
x+75 is the total ?

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

Yep :)

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

Which is the same as 1.07*75, just this is a simpler way ;)

anonymous · Answer

is that it?

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

80.25 is indeed the answer :D

jskhupmang · Answer

how did you just know 1 infront of .o7?

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

because 1* something = the original number. then if you do 1.07, that adds the tax, or the extra cost :)

jskhupmang · Answer

ok thxs

anonymous · Answer

75*100%+75*7%=75*107%=75*1.07=80.25
