First, we need to calculate the total cost of the computer system and software before taxes.
Total cost = Computer system cost + Software package cost
Total cost = $1,750 + $275
Total cost = $2,025
Next, we need to calculate the amount of sales tax Bertha paid on her purchase.
Sales tax amount = Total cost x Sales tax rate
Sales tax amount = $2,025 x 0.0675
Sales tax amount = $136.69
Finally, we can calculate the total amount of her purchase including sales tax.
Total amount = Total cost + Sales tax amount
Total amount = $2,025 + $136.69
Total amount = $2,161.69
Therefore, the total amount of Bertha's purchase including sales tax was $2,161.69.
Bertha purchased a computer system for $1,750 and an integrated
software package for $275. If she had to pay a sales tax of 6.75%,
what was the total amount of her purchase?
