Dr. Sox paid $1580 for a new computer system she also paid a 6.5% tax. How much was the tax? What is the total cost?



Answer :

Total cost is $1682.70-get this is by 1580 * 6.5 equals 102.70 You need to times your 1580 by your tax percent to figure out how much money your tax is once you've divided it I got $102.70 since you have to add tax to your original cost when you add 1580 +102.70 you get $1682.70
convert 6.5% to a decimal = .065 1580 x .065= $102.70 tax total cost $1580+$102.70= $1682.70 Total cost= $1682.70 hope this helps
