A bicycle has a listed price of 803.98 before tax. If the sales tax is 9.5%, fins the total cost of the bicycle with sales tax included. Round to the nearest cent its necessary.

Respuesta :

The total cost with taxes included is given by

[tex]803.98+803.98\times\frac{9.5}{100}[/tex]

which is equal to

[tex]803.98(1+\frac{9.5}{100})[/tex]

which gives

[tex]\begin{gathered} 803.98(1+0.095) \\ 803.98(1.095) \end{gathered}[/tex]

then, we have $880.3581. By rounding to the nearest cent, the answer is $880.36
