If the pants are not on sale and there is a 6.25% sales tax, how much will Bill pay for the pants
Multiply the price of the pants by 0.0625 to find the tax.
Add the tax to the price of the pants.
To calculate how much Bill will pay for the pants, we need to know the original price of the pants. If the pants are not on sale, we can assume the original price is the price listed.
Let's say the original price of the pants is $X.
To calculate the total amount Bill will pay, we need to add the sales tax to the original price. The sales tax is 6.25%, which means Bill needs to pay an additional 6.25% of the original price.
To calculate the amount of sales tax Bill needs to pay, we can use the formula:
Sales Tax = (6.25/100) * Original Price
Substituting the value of the original price as $X, we get:
Sales Tax = (6.25/100) * X
To calculate the total amount Bill will pay, we add the original price and the sales tax:
Total Amount = Original Price + Sales Tax
Substituting the value of the sales tax, we get:
Total Amount = X + (6.25/100) * X
Simplifying the expression, we have:
Total Amount = X(1 + 6.25/100)
To find out how much Bill will pay for the pants, we can multiply the original price by the factor (1 + 6.25/100).
