phone that costs $899. 99? What is the total cost of the Cell phone after the sales tax is added?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the sales tax is 6.5%
6.5% means 6.5/100 which becomes .065.
the sales tax on an item that costs 899.99 is equal to .065 * 899.99 which is equal to 58.49935 which is equal to 58.50 when rounded to the nearest penny.
the total cost of the cell phone is therefore 899.99 + 58.5 = 958.49 rounded to the nearest penny.
