To find the total cost including the tax rate, we multiply by:
[tex]1 + \frac{tax}{100} [/tex]
So in this case we have to multiply by
[tex]1 + \frac{6}{100} = 1.06[/tex]
Therefore the price including tax is
[tex]299.99 \times 1.06 = 317.99[/tex]
Hence, $317.99
you would have to multiply it 299.99 ( .06) then youll get your answer . you have to change the percentage into a decimal. hope it helps
