Question

Terri Clifford bought a Sunday dress for $36. The sales tax was 6%. Find the total cost of the dress.

Answer 1

Total cost is $38.16

Multiply 36 by 0.06 (2.16)
Add 2.16 to 36 (38.16)

Answer 2

6/100 = x/36

First multiply 6 by 36

216

Then divide by 100

2.16

Add back 36

Total price is $38.16

Hope this helps!
