SALES TAX PORTFOLIO
USE KANSAS, you decide to buy a board game to play. The cost of the game is between $10 and $20, and it is not a whole dollar amount.
Decide the cost of the board game. Write it here: ______
Now choose one of the four states listed above. Write it here: ____KANSAS________
Use only the state of kansas sales tax which is. 6.50%
What is the total cost of the board game, including sales tax? Show your work. Round appropriately for full credit.
Let's say the cost of the board game is $15.
To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the cost of the game by the sales tax rate of 6.5%:
Sales tax = $15 * 6.5% = $0.975
To find the total cost of the board game including sales tax, we add the sales tax to the cost of the game:
Total cost = $15 + $0.975 = $15.975
Rounding appropriately, the total cost of the board game including sales tax is $16.
To calculate the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the cost of the board game: As per the instructions, the cost of the board game is between $10 and $20, and it is not a whole dollar amount. Let's assume the cost is $15.
2. Calculate the sales tax: In this case, we will be using the sales tax rate for the state of Kansas, which is 6.50%. To calculate the sales tax amount, multiply the cost of the board game by the sales tax rate (in decimal form):
Sales Tax = Cost of Board Game x Sales Tax Rate
Sales Tax = $15 x 0.065
Sales Tax = $0.975 (rounded to the nearest cent)
3. Calculate the total cost including sales tax: Add the cost of the board game to the sales tax amount to get the total cost:
Total Cost = Cost of Board Game + Sales Tax
Total Cost = $15 + $0.975
Total Cost = $15.975
Rounding appropriately for full credit, the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, is approximately $15.98.
To find the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, we will multiply the cost of the game by the sales tax rate and add the result to the cost of the game.
Let's say the cost of the board game is $x.
First, we need to calculate the sales tax amount. To do this, we will multiply the cost of the game by the sales tax rate:
Sales tax amount = x * 6.50% = 0.065x
Next, we can calculate the total cost of the board game by adding the sales tax amount to the cost of the game:
Total cost of board game = x + sales tax amount
= x + 0.065x
= 1.065x
So, the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, is 1.065x.
Please substitute the value of x (the cost of the board game) that you have chosen to get the final answer.
