Answer 1

Answer:

the total cost includng the sales tax is $648

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can hel p you with this,.

to solve this you can use a rule of three

Step 1

let

the price of the video game is $60, is tis our 100%

$60 ⇔100%

the tax is 8%,

so the total price is=price of the game + tax

total price=100%+8 %

total price= 108%

Step 2

define the relation

let x  as the total cost

$60 ⇔100%

X     ⇔ 108%

$\alpha \frac{60}{100} =\frac{x}{108} \\isolate\ x\\\frac{60*108}{100} =x \\\\x=\frac{6480}{10}\\ x=648$

so, the total cost is $648

have a nice day
