Wyoming. Each has a state sales tax on most items that are for sale in stores.
While you are visiting, you decide to buy a board game to play with your hosts. The

Great! Since you're looking to buy a board game that costs between $10 and $20, but is not a whole dollar amount, here are some potential options of board game prices that fit your criteria:

  1. $10.50
  2. $11.25
  3. $12.75
  4. $13.99
  5. $14.50
  6. $15.75
  7. $16.25
  8. $17.99
  9. $18.50
  10. $19.75

Depending on the specific sales tax rates in Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, your total cost will vary. Here are the sales tax rates for each of those states as of my last update:

  • Tennessee: 7% state sales tax
  • Vermont: 6% state sales tax
  • Wisconsin: 5% state sales tax
  • Wyoming: 4% state sales tax

You can calculate the total cost of your board game by using the formula: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Price of Game} + (\text{Price of Game} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate}) \]

If you have a specific price in mind for the game, let me know, and I can help calculate the total cost including taxes for each state!
