Question 929550: The price of a graphing calculator is $80. The sale tax is 7% . What is the total cost of the calculator?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sales tax: 7% of $80 = 0.07*80 = $5.60
Sales tax alone is $5.60
Add this to the price of the calculator: $80 + $5.60 = $85.60
The total cost is $85.60
-------------------------------------------------------
Alternate Method:
107% of 80 = 1.07*80 = 85.60
-------------------------------------------------------
Either way, you get the final answer of $85.60
