If a jacket cost $153 and there is a 5% sales tax, how much will you pay for the jacket (after including taxes)?
153*1.05=160.65
(US$ 153) + 5% =
160.65 US$
hope this helps
Char, the dollar sign needs to be before the numbers.
$153
$160.65
Percent sign is correctly placed after the number — 5%
To calculate the total cost of the jacket including taxes, you need to add the sales tax to the original price of the jacket.
First, calculate the amount of tax by multiplying the jacket price by the tax rate (5%).
5% of $153 = $153 * 0.05 = $7.65
Next, add the tax amount to the original price of the jacket to get the total cost.
Total cost = $153 + $7.65 = $160.65
Therefore, you will pay $160.65 for the jacket, including taxes.
