Question

the price of a ues car that billy is buying is $5,000.if he has to pay 8% in taxes how much will he have to pay for the car including taxes?

Answer 1

So the total price would be 100% + 8% tax = 108% of the original price.  Since 108% written as a decimal is 1.08, we can do the following:

5,000 * 1.08 = 5,400
