If tax was 8.25% on the $220 total for the items purchased at Target, what was the total cost of the items including tax?

$238.15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost of the items including tax you will need to multiply the cost of the items by the decimal form of 8.25%.

The decimal form of 8.25% is .0825. When turning percents to the decimal form we move the decimal two places to the left.

Now we multiply!

(220)(.0825) = 18.15

Now add 18.15 onto the 220 to find the total cost including tax:

220 + 18.15 = 238.15

Therefore, the total cost of the items including tax is $238.15.

I hope this helps!!

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p
