TV has a listed price of $822.98 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.25%, find the total cost of the TV with sales tax included.

Answer 1

Multiply the pre-tax price by the sales tax percentage divided by 100. Add the result obtained to the original pre-tax price.

$22.98 x 8.25/100 = $68.14. (tax on item)

$822.98 +$68.14 =$891.12. (final cost)

Answer 2

822.98(1.0825) = $890.88 rounded off to nearest cent = after tax price

822.98 x 8 1/4% tax = 822.98(.0825) = 67.89585

822.98+ 67.89585 = $890.87585

= $890.88
