is the tax on the system? How much is the total cost of the video game system?

Answer 1

The tax on the gaming system is 8.25% of the sale price. If we convert that to a decimal (divide by 100), we get 0.0825. if we multiply the price of the system by this decimal, we'll get the tax on this gaming system.

299 x 0.0825 = 25.50

You pay $25.50 in taxes on this gaming system.

To find the total price, add the sale price and the tax.

$299.00 + $25.50 = $324.50

The total price of the gaming system, including tax, is $324.50
