Ted bought four chairs for $22 each, a pinic table for $212, and an umbrella for $85. If the sales tax rate is 6%, what was his tatol bill?
22+212+85=answer 1
once you get answer 1 multiply by 6%, (or .06), you will then get answer 2.
add answer 1 and answer 2.
To calculate Ted's total bill, we need to find the individual costs of the four chairs, the picnic table, and the umbrella, and then add them up.
The chairs are $22 each, and Ted bought four of them. So the cost of the chairs would be 4 x $22 = $<<4*22=88>>88.
The picnic table costs $212, and the umbrella costs $85.
To calculate the sales tax, we need to find 6% of the total cost before tax.
The total cost before tax would be the sum of the individual costs: $88 for the chairs, $212 for the picnic table, and $85 for the umbrella. So the total cost before tax would be $88 + $212 + $85 = $<<88+212+85=385>>385.
To find 6% of $385, we can multiply $385 by 0.06 (which is 6% expressed as a decimal): $385 x 0.06 = $<<385*0.06=23.1>>23.1.
Now we can calculate the total bill by adding the total cost before tax and the sales tax amount: $385 + $23.1 = $<<385+23.1=408.1>>408.1.
Therefore, Ted's total bill, including sales tax, is $408.1.
