Sales tax in City A is 20%. Han paid $14 for his meal before tax. What is the total price of his meal after tax?

Respuesta :

Since we know that the sales tax is 20%, we must convert this percent to a decimal. Let's divide by 100 to make it a decimal:


[tex] \frac{20}{100}=0.2 [/tex]


Then we multiply the original price by the tax in decimal form:


[tex] 14*0.2=2.8 [/tex]


So we know that the tax will total $2.80. Then we need to add this to the original price to find the total price of the meal:


[tex] 14+2.80=16.80 [/tex]


Now we know the total price of Han's meal is $16.80.
