If the sales tax in your city is 11.4%, and an item costs $160 before tax, how much tax would you pay on that item? Round to the nearest hundredth or cent.
First we calculate the tax on the item: 11.4%($160) = 11.4(160)/100 = 18.24 hence the tax for the item is $18.24 The total price for the item would be: 160 + 18.24 = 178.24 hence the total price for the item including tax is: $178.24
