Question

n item is priced at $13.59. If the sales tax is 6%, what does the item cost including sales tax?

Answer 1

you can set up a ratio and cross multiply

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 100 } = \frac{ x }{ 13.59 }\]

you'll get the tax from this but you'll have to add it to the original price.

Answer 2

ohh i got it thank you!
