- Felipe buys a computer for $2,000 and has
it shipped to his home. The sales tax is
6.5 percent. The shipping charge is 8
percent of the pretax price.

What is the total cost?

Respuesta :

1) Apply the shipping charge to the price.

2000(1.08)= 2160

2) Apply the sales tax

2160(1.065)= 2,300.4

Therefore, the total cost is $2,300.40.

Hope this helps!
