Josh decided to purchase a jacket for his mother that costs
$200.00. After paying a 6%
sales tax, how much will Josh
pay for the gift?

Answer

$212

Step-by-step explanation:

to get this answer, you must find what 6% of 200 is, which can be calculated using this little equation here

percentage/100 x original price = sales tax

6/100 x 200= 0.06 x 200= 12

this gives you the sales tax, or the amount of money that was added onto the original price, all that's left to do is to add, so original price + sales tax

200+12= $212
