+4 An item is priced at $13.53. If the sales tax is 5%, what does the item cost including sales tax?
+118724 An item is priced at $13.53. If the sales tax is 5%, what does the item cost including sales tax?
tax=5% of 13.53=5/100*13.53
$${\frac{{\mathtt{5}}}{{\mathtt{100}}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{13.53}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{1\,353}}}{{\mathtt{2\,000}}}} = {\mathtt{0.676\: \!5}}$$
That is 68 cents to the nearest cent.
Final cost will be $13.53 + 0.68
$${\mathtt{13.53}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{0.68}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{1\,421}}}{{\mathtt{100}}}} = {\mathtt{14.21}}$$
So the final cost will be $14.21
