The price of a new flat panel television is $3500. What is the total price of the television that includes the 6% sales tax?

2 answers

1.06 * 3500 = ____
First find how much the tax will be...

(6/100)=(X/3500)
X=(6*3500)/100
X= $210

Then the total price will be...

price of tv + price of tax
$3500 + $210= $3710
