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]

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
