To determine the amount of tax that is added to the cost of the computer, follow these steps:
1. First, identify the cost of the computer and the tax rate:
- The cost of the computer is £982.
- The tax rate is 18.5%.
2. Convert the tax percentage to a decimal to facilitate multiplication:
- The tax rate as a decimal is [tex]\( \frac{18.5}{100} \)[/tex].
3. Multiply the cost of the computer by the decimal tax rate to find the tax amount:
[tex]\[
\text{Tax Amount} = 982 \times \left( \frac{18.5}{100} \right)
\][/tex]
4. Simplify this multiplication to get the tax amount.
Following these steps, the tax amount added to the cost of the computer is £181.67.
Thus, the amount of tax that is added to the cost of the computer is £181.67.
