Answer 1

The total cost of the television is equal to its price plus sales tax:

total cost = price + sales tax

Now 6.5% of $120 is

$120\times\frac{6.5}{100}$$7.8$

Therefore, the sales tax is $7.8 and hence the total cost is

total cost = $120 + $7.8 = $127.8

total cost = $127.8

which is our answer!
