Sales tax = Selling price × Sales tax rate
Excise tax = Selling price × Excise tax rate
Total purchase price = Selling price + Sales tax + Excise tax
To get the total you just multiply the individual rate by 580 :)
Excise tax = Selling price × Excise tax rate
Total purchase price = Selling price + Sales tax + Excise tax
To get the total you just multiply the individual rate by 580 :)
