Given:
Daniel bought a bicycle for $80 and a helmet for $20.
Sales tax = 5%
To find:
The total amount of both items including tax.
Solution:
Price of bicycle (excluding tax)= [tex]\$80[/tex]
Price of helmet(excluding tax) = [tex]\$20[/tex]
Price of both items = [tex]\$80 + \$20[/tex]
=[tex]\$100[/tex]
Now, the sales tax is 5%. So,
Price of both items (including tax) = [tex]\$100+\dfrac{5}{100}(\$100)[/tex]
= [tex]\$100+\$5[/tex]
= [tex]\$105[/tex]
Therefore, the Daniel pays $105 for the two items, including tax.
