If the hat costs $975 and the sales tax was 5%, how much did Rose pay for the hat?
Rose bought a new hat when she was on vacation.
The following formula describes the total amount Rose paid:
t = c + cb

t = Total cost Rose paid for the hat
c = price of hat
b = sales tax (percent.)

Thank you for your time.

Yes, pleaaase. :D

All you have to do is put in your calculator, 975 * .05 which equals 48.75. That is the tax. Add that to the original price (975 + 48.75) and you get your answer.
So the answer is $1023.75. Hope I helped you and have a great day :)
