A leather coat costs $120 and the sales tax is 7.25%. What is the TOTAL cost of the coat?
We need to take 7.25% out of 120.
[tex]7.25%[/tex] of [tex]120 = 8.7[/tex]
Now add the cost, and the tax.
[tex]120 + 8.7 = 128.7[/tex]
Put into currency form.
$[tex]128.70[/tex]
Final answer, 128 dollars, and 70 cents.
