A camera has a listed price of $791.98 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included.

Answer 1

Price before taxes: $791.98

Sales Tax: 8.5%, lets covert to decimal 8.5/100 = 0.085

What is the 8.5% of $791.98, lets multiply 791.98 x 0.085 = 67.3183, lets round to the nearest penny, $67.32

Now lets add $791.98 with the sales tax of $67.32 which is $859.30.

Cost with sales tax is $859.30
