To calculate the total price including sales tax, you can follow these steps:
-
Calculate the sales tax: Sales tax = Price of the pants × Sales tax rate \[ \text{Sales tax} = 36 \times 0.05 = 1.80 \]
-
Calculate the total price: Total price = Price of the pants + Sales tax \[ \text{Total price} = 36 + 1.80 = 37.80 \]
Thus, the total price including tax is $37.80.
