Question

Buys a new varsity jacket. If the price is $180 and the sales tax is 5% what is the total of the jacket?

Answer 1

Answer:$189

Step-by-step explanation: 1% of $180 is $1.80

multiply $1.80 by 5 and you get $9

add $9 to $180

Answer 2

Multiply 180 by 0.05 to find 5% of 180 and add that to the original.
180•0.05=9
180+9=189
So the total price is $189
