Question

If there's a 9% tax, and the couch is $227.49 what will the total be?

Answer 1

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

227.49 x 1.09 = 247.96

Answer 2

To find the amount of tax you have to turn 9% into a decimal by dividing it by ten.

9% ⇒ 0.09

Now multiply 0.09 by 227.49 to find 9% of 227.49.

227.49 × 0.09 = 20.47

Add 9% of 227.49, or 20.47, to the origin price.

227.49 + 20.47 = 247.96

Answer:

The total for the couch will be $247.96.
