Mai bought a television for $350. The tax rate is 8%. What is the total amount Mai paid for the television?

378

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she bought a television for $350 and the tax rate is 8%. This means the equation will be 350+(0.08*350). We can solve that equation using benchmark fractions since that's the quicker method of doing it.

To find 8% of 350, we can do 1% of 350 = 3.5 and we just multiply 3.5*8 which is 28. So we do 350+28.

You could also do 350*.08 but that's less efficent

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three

13.5 : 3
