To determine the cost of the board game, we need a cost between $10 and $20 that is not a whole dollar amount. Let's choose $15.
Next, we need to choose one of the four states listed above. Let's choose Tennessee.
The state's general sales tax in Tennessee is 7%.
To calculate the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, we need to add the sales tax to the cost of the game.
Sales tax = (sales tax rate / 100) * cost of the game
Sales tax = (7 / 100) * 15
Sales tax = 1.05
Total cost of the board game = cost of the game + sales tax
Total cost of the board game = 15 + 1.05
Total cost of the board game = $16.05
Therefore, the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, in Tennessee is $16.05.
