Answer 1

Answer:

you will have to pay a total of 54$

Step-by-step explanation:

50$ : 100% = x : 108% (+8% for the tax   100+8+108)

100x = 108 x 50

100x = 5400

5400 ÷ 100 = 54

Total 54 $

Answer 2

The total money paid to buy a coffee maker is $54.

Given that, the cost of a coffee maker=$50 and the sales tax=8%.

We need to find the total cost of a coffee maker.

What is a sales tax?

A sales tax is a tax paid to a governing body for the sales of certain goods and services. Usually, laws allow the seller to collect funds for the tax from the consumer at the point of purchase.

Sales tax is an amount of money, calculated as a percentage, that is added to the cost of a product or service when purchased by a consumer at retail.

Now, the total money paid=50+8% of 508% of 50 can be calculated as 0.08×50=4

So, 50+4=$54

Therefore, the total money paid to buy a coffee maker is $54.
