Answer 10

let's leave off the signs just to minimize confusion.
original price: 19.50
tax: 14%

to get total price you must add tax, which is a percentage of your original price, to the original price. this means:

14% (19.50) + 19.50

Answer 11

14% of 19.50 is also 0.14\(\times\)19.50

Answer 12

add this \(\Large{↑}\) to the original price of 19.50

Answer 13

Dats what I was sayin :P

Answer 14

19.50*14%=2.73
19.50+2.73=?
