Vincent purchased a scooter for $124 before tax. The store adds a 7.8% sales tax to every purchase. How much did Vincent pay for the scooter, to the nearest penny?

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price of the scooter = $124

Sales Tax = 7.8%

Price of the scooter after tax = 124 + 7.8%(124)

= 124 + 7.8/100 x 124

= 124 + 3.9/50 x 124

= 124 + 1.95/25 x 124

= 124 + 0.39/5 x 124

= 124 + 0.39 x 24.8

= 124 + 9.672

= 133.672

Therefore, after tax the scooter will cost $133.672.
