Given:
Cost of 2 DVDs before tax = $19.99
Tax rate = 8.25%
To find:
The cost of 2 DVDs after the tax was added.
Solution:
We have,
Cost of 2 DVDs before tax = $19.99
Tax rate = 8.25%
So,
Tax = 8.25% of Cost of 2 DVDs before tax
[tex]Tax=\dfrac{8.25}{100}\times 19.99[/tex]
[tex]Tax=1.649175[/tex]
[tex]Tax\approx 1.65[/tex]
Now,
Cost of 2 DVDs after tax = Cost of 2 DVDs before tax + Tax
= $19.99 + $1.65
= $21.64
Therefore, the cost of 2 DVDs after the tax is $21.64.
