Question

Max and his friends enjoyed a steak and potatoes dinner. The tax was $6. The tax rate is 7.5%. What was the price of the dinners including the tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of the dinners including the tax is $86

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total price of the dinners without tax be x

Tax rate = 7.5%

So,Amount of tax =$7.5\%x=\frac{7.5}{100}x$

We are given that The tax was $6.

So,$\frac{7.5}{100}x=6$

$x=\frac{6 \times 100}{7.5}$

x=80

So, Cost including tax = 80+6=$86

Hence The price of the dinners including the tax is $86
