Ralph Jordan recently bought a new lawnmower for $228.00. If he had to pay 6% sales tax on the lawnmower, what was the total cost of the lawnmower?

Respuesta :

first, we have to calcutate the tax:

6%*228.00=13.2

([tex] \frac{6}{100} *228= \frac{3}{50} *228= \frac{684}{50} = \frac{342}{25} =13.68[/tex]

so that's the tax he has to pay.

we add this to the cost of the landmover:
228+13.68=241.68
and that's the total cost!
241.68 is the answer because you have to get 6% as a decimal by dividing it by 100 and then adding that to the price
