PLEASE ANSWER THIS: Luke is purchasing 4 VR headsets at $249 each for raffle prizes. What is the total purchase price, including sales tax, if he purchased them in New York City where the state sales tax is 4% and the city and county taxes total an additional 4.5%?
What you do is you do 4 times 249 to get 996. You will then take 4% and 4.5% and times them to 996 separately to get $39.84 and $44.82. You will then add both to $996 to get $1,080.66.
