Katie went to buy a new tv and finds one for $550.00. In the state of Texas, there is a 6% sales tax on items. How much did Katie pay for the TV including the tax?
6% is equal to 0.06, so you multiply 550 by 0.06. which equals 33. Then, because it asks for how much Katie played, including the tax and TV, you add 33 to 550.
