A laptop is $891.99 before sales tax. If the sales tax rate is 7.5%, find the total of the laptop WITH the sales tax included.

Answer :

you add .75 to 891.99

Answer:

958.88925

Step-by-step explanation:

the percentage of tax is that much of the total price. if there is 50% sales tax (unrealistic) and the item costs 100 dollars without any tax, then the tax would be 50 dollars. To find this, turn the percent into a decimal (move the decimal place to the left twice) and multiply that by the price. To do this with this problem, use this strategy. 891.99 times 0.75= 66.89925+891.99=958.88925. might need to be simplified tho, hope this helps
