Answer:
[tex]13.50[/tex]$
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{x}{12.50} = \frac{8}{100} [/tex]
[tex](x)100 = (8)12.50[/tex]
[tex](x)100 = 100[/tex]
[tex] \frac{(x)100}{100} = \frac{100}{100} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{100}{100} [/tex]
[tex]x = 1[/tex]
[tex]12.50 + 1 = 13.50[/tex]
[tex]13.50[/tex]$
Answer:
The total cost is: $13.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Item cost = $12.50
Sales tax = 8% = 0.08
To determine
Total cost = ?
Sales amount can be calculated by multiplying item cost 12.50 by sales tax 8% or 0.08.
Sales amount = Item cost × 0.08
= 12.50 × 0.08
= $1
The total cost can be calculated by adding the item cost plus the Sales amount.
Total cost = Item cost + Sales amount
= 12.50 + 1
= $13.50
Therefore,
The total cost is: $13.50
