To determine the total cost of the board game, including sales tax, we need to know the original price of the board game and the sales tax rate.
Let's say the original price of the board game is $50 and the sales tax rate is 8%.
First, calculate the sales tax amount:
Sales Tax = Original Price × Tax Rate/100
Sales Tax = $50 × 8/100
Sales Tax = $4
Then, add the sales tax to the original price to get the total cost:
Total Cost = Original Price + Sales Tax
Total Cost = $50 + $4
Total Cost = $54
The total cost of the board game, including sales tax, is $54.
