Given:
Price before tax was $19.99.
To find:
The cost of the two DVDs after the 8.25% tax was added.
Solution:
We have,
Price of two DVDs before tax = $19.99
Rate of tax = 8.25%
Thus,
Tax = 8.25% of price of two 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,
[tex]\text{Cost of two DVDs after tax = Cost of two DVDs before tax + Tax}[/tex]
[tex]= \$19.99 + \$1.65[/tex]
[tex]= \$21.64[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of 2 DVDs after the tax is $21.64.
