I have the same question on a quiz so I’m not sure
To calculate the cost to purchase the mountain bike with sales tax, you need to add the sales tax amount to the original price.
First, calculate the sales tax amount by multiplying the original price by the sales tax rate.
Sales tax = Original price * Sales tax rate
Sales tax = $413 * 6.5% = $413 * 0.065 = $26.845
Now, add the sales tax amount to the original price to find the total cost to purchase the mountain bike.
Total cost = Original price + Sales tax
Total cost = $413 + $26.845 = $439.845
Rounding to the nearest cent, the cost to purchase the mountain bike is approximately $439.85.
