USE KANSAS, you decide to buy a board game to play. The cost of the game is between $10 and $20, and it is not a whole dollar amount.
Decide the cost of the board game. Write it here: ______
Now choose one of the four states listed above. Write it here: ____KANSAS________
Use only the state of kansas sales tax which is. 6.50%
The cost of the board game is $16.50 (between $10 and $20, not a whole dollar amount).
State: Kansas
Sales Tax: 6.50%
To determine the cost of the board game in Kansas, we need to consider the sales tax rate of 6.50%.
Let's assume the cost of the board game is x dollars.
The cost of the board game plus the sales tax will be:
x + (6.50% of x) = x + 0.065x = 1.065x
Since the cost of the game is between $10 and $20, we can set up the following inequality:
10 < 1.065x < 20
To solve this inequality, we will divide all sides by 1.065:
10/1.065 < x < 20/1.065
9.39 < x < 18.78
Therefore, the cost of the board game in Kansas would be between $9.39 and $18.78.
To calculate the cost of the board game in Kansas, we need to consider the sales tax rate of 6.50%.
First, let's find the range of prices between $10 and $20 that are not whole dollar amounts.
The possible prices within this range are: $10.01, $10.02, $10.03, ..., $19.99.
To determine the cost after applying the sales tax, we can use the following formula:
Cost with tax = Cost without tax + (Cost without tax x Sales tax rate)
Let's calculate the cost of the board game using the lowest possible price ($10.01) as an example:
Cost without tax = $10.01
Cost with tax = $10.01 + ($10.01 x 0.0650) = $10.01 + $0.65065
Cost with tax = $10.66 (rounded to the nearest cent)
So, the cost of the board game could be $10.66.
Note: You can repeat the above steps for any of the other potential prices within the given range.
