Question

there is a phone in the price of $599.99 and the tax rate is 7.5% what is the total bill ?

 

Answer 1

If you see this, you might be able to get to the answer quicker by multiplying the price times 1.075.  That way, you eliminate one step.  599.99 x 1.075 = $644.99

Answer 2

Multiply the tax rate by the original price.

 

0.075 × 599.99 = $45

 

 

Add the result from the previous step to the original price.

 

$45.00 + $599.99 = $644.99

 

 

The total amount is $644.99
