what is 8.25% of $788.95 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we round 8.25 to 825 right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I think you meant to say "convert 8.25% to 0.0825"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its 0.0825

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, now multiply that with the price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 65.088375

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

round that to the nearest penny and then add that to the initial price to get the total cost
