To find the total cost including sales tax, you would first need to calculate the amount of sales tax on the item.
Sales tax = 4% of $14.78 = 0.04 x $14.78 = $0.59
Add the sales tax to the original item price to get the total cost including sales tax:
Total cost = $14.78 + $0.59 = $15.37
Therefore, the item costs $15.37 including sales tax.
An item is priced at $14.78. If the sales tax is 4%, what does the item cost including sales tax?
