A person buys a picture marked at a price of $179.99 and has to pay on top a tax rate of 6.5%
We are asked to find how much the person spent in the purchase.
So we need to add the pric plus the tax:
Price: $179.99
tax : 6.5% of 179.99 which in math terms is written in decimal form as:
0.065 * 179.99 = 11.699 which we round to two decimalos to: $11.70
Then, the total he spends is: $179.99 + $11.70 = $191.69
