Question

If there is a 6% sales tax on a sweatshirt that costs $22.00, what will be the total cost of the sweatshirt?

Answer 1

the sweaters cost is still 22.00 the 1.32 is tax which you are paying for something else.the total of what you pay is 23.32

Answer 2

well what is 6%..6/100 or .06

so we can do this in two steps or one

TWO STEP METHOD

1. Multiply 22.00*.06=1.32 so the TAX is a dollar and 32 cents
2. Add 22+1.32= $23.32 is the price after tax


Now the one step method is to understand that if something increases by a certain % you multiply it by 1+the percent

so 22*1.06= $23.32

Answer 3

6*22 = tax on shirt = 132
132/100 = $1.32 in tax
$22.00 + $1.32 = $23.32
The sweatshirt costs $23.32

Answer 4

Ok take the price of the shirt- 22.00 and multiply the tax in (whatever it is) in this case- 0.06 (1 is 100%)
22.00 times 0.06
Now take that answer and add it to 22.00
Convert to money terms (Stick a $ in front) and Voila!

Answer 5

22.00 * 1.06

Formula for total cost is price x (1 +taxrate)

Don't forget to convert the percentage of tax to a decimal by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left (ex. 6% = .06)

To find out the origninal price of something using the total cost, divide the total cost by (1 + taxrate)

Answer 6

Multiply those 2 numbers.
0.06 x 22.00 then add the answer to the $22 to get the answer.

Answer 7

make the percent into a decimal 6%=.06 and multiply by 22.00
do the math and then add that number to 22.00

Answer 8

Since it will be 6% more, it will be 106 / 100 * 22 = 23.32

Answer 9

Find the tax first. ).06 x 22.00= 1.32
add to the 22.00 1.32 + 22.00=

Answer 10

23.32

1.32 sales tax + 22.00 original sales price
