The sales tax on a $799 tv is 8%. How much in dollars is the sales tax? What is the total price of the tv, including the sales tax?
Please explain. Thank you

The total price is $862.92, the tax is $63.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales tax is an additional amount added on top of the total price and is usually represented by a percent. to translate the percent to decimals we move the decimal two places to the left making 8% 0.08. To find the tax we multiply the total by that amount. 799*0.08=63.92. To find the total we can add the tax to the original amount or we can multiply the original by 1.08 instead, to keep the principal and add on.

Sales Tax

Multiply the price of the TV by the sales tax rate

TV price*sales tax

799*8%

Convert 8% to a decimal

8/100=0.08

799*0.08=63.92

Sales Tax: $63.92

Total Cost

Add the price of the TV and the sales tax together

TV price + sales tax

799+63.92=862.92

Total Cost: $862.92

Hope this helps! :)

fahrenheit

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit is more precise than celsius. the ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees fahrenheit to 110 degrees fahrenheit—a 130-degree range. on the celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees—a 72.1-degree range. this means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.
