How do you find the sales tax of something? Here is one of my problems:
The price of three dolls are $12.99. What is the price of the dolls with a 5% sales tax? Show all of your work!
I cannot figure out how to put up an equation and solve this problem. Please help!
12.99 * 1.05 = x
or -- if the dolls cost 12.99 each -- then ---
3(12.99)(1.05) = x
thanks but its
12.99*0.2 = 2.60 discount
12.99 - 2.60 = 10.39 new price
10.39 * 0.05 = 0.52 tax
10.39 + 0.52 = 10.91 price for each dolls
Am I correct

To find the price of the dolls with a 5% sales tax, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the sales tax percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, we divide 5 by 100, which gives us 0.05.
Step 2: Calculate the sales tax amount by multiplying the price of the dolls by the sales tax rate. In this case, we multiply $12.99 by 0.05:
Sales tax amount = $12.99 x 0.05
Sales tax amount = $0.6495
Step 3: Calculate the total price by adding the price of the dolls to the sales tax amount:
Total price = $12.99 + $0.6495
Total price = $13.6395
Now, to answer your specific question, the price of the dolls with a 5% sales tax is $13.6395.
