Joe wants to buy a skateboard but he doesn't know if he has enough money. The price of the skateboard is $85 and the sales tax is 6%. What will be the total cost of the skateboard?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$90.10

Step-by-step explanation:

price of the skateboard = $85

sales tax = 6%

Dollar value of sales tax  = 6% of price of the skateboard

  = 6% of $85 = (6/100) * $85 = ( 6* 85)/100 =  $ 5.10

Total cost of the skateboard = price of the skateboard + sales tax value

substituting the value of price of the skateboard and  sales tax value, calculated above, we have

  Total cost of the skateboard =  $85 +   $ 5.10 = $90.10
