ok so add the taxes (yes, you can do that)
6+8=12
find 12% of 27.50 and add taht to 27.50
faster way
100+12=112%
find 112% of 27.50 and that is answer

1.12 times 27.5=30.8

answer is cost is $30.80

Cost of the article = $27.50

Amount of city sales tax = (27.50 x 6%) = $1.65

Amount of excise tax = (27.50 x 8%) = $2.20

From my knowledge, we pay city sales tax and federal excise tax when we buy something, so the total cost would be $31.35
