the easiest and best way to add tax to anything is found by using this formula
P = O(1 + r)
whereas P is the price after tax
O is the original price
and r is the tax itself
P = 140(1 + .0825)
P = 140(1.0825)
P = $151.55

Sales tax
8.25/100 x $140
33/400 x $140
33/20 x $7
$231 / 20
$23.10 / 2
£11.55
Price = $151.55

Here are a few guidelines for any word problem. "is" is the same as =, "what" is your variable.
So
"what" "is" "the price" "with tax" "marketed at 140"
x=140(.0825)+140
Plug it in and you got it.
