John bought a skateboard for $60.00. He had to pay an additional tax of 8%. What was the total cost of his purchase with tax?

$64.8

Step-by-step explanation:

$60 is 100% of the price of the skateboard or the price before tax was involved

Now, John has to pay a tax of 8%, or add 8% of the price of the skateboard to the total bill.

To increase by 8%, you must find 108% of 60, the price of the skateboard

To do this, you multiply 60 by 1.08

Solve:

John paid $ for his skateboard
