Add up the totals before tax:

1860 + 5775 = 7635

Find 8.2% of this:

0.082 * 7635 = 626.07

Now add this on to it:

7635 + 626.07 = 8261.07

So the total cost is $8,261.07
If you are looking for the complete price of both of them, the answer would be:

Dining room table and 6 chairs=$2012.52       The tax was=152.52
The bed, dresser, and chest of Drawers=6248.55    The tax was=473.55

All you have to do is multiply the Price times the rate,and then add that to the price.

.082^ 1860 + 1860 = 2012.52
