A sweater cost $35. The sales tax is 10%. What is the total cost of the sweater?
+4473 So, we know the cost should be greater than $35 since we have to add the sales tax.
10% is the same as 10/100 which means you just have to move the decimal place two times to the left: 10% --> 0.1
Now, $35*0.1 = $3.5
Finally, we have to add the original cost + the sales tax cost:
$35 + 3.5 = $38.50.
