Question 160542: You need to purchase a textbook for nursing school. The book cost $80.00, and the sales tax where you are purchasing the book is 8.25%. You have $100. How much change will you receive back? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Total = Price + Tax
Total = Price + (8.25/100)*Price
Total = 1.0825*Price
Total = 1.0825*$80
Total = $86.60
