You buy a bench that is $359.98. Sales tax is 7.25%. What is total cost? (hundredth)

1 answer

To find the total cost, you need to add the sales tax amount to the original price of the bench.

Sales tax = 7.25% = 7.25/100 = 0.0725

Tax amount = 0.0725 * 359.98 = $26.08 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Total cost = Price of the bench + Tax amount = 359.98 + 26.08 = $386.06
