You are shopping for a new bike. The sales tax is 6%. You have a total of $159 to spend. What is your price limit for the bike?

$2.49

Step-by-step explanation:

6%→0.06Now, we need to multiply the pre-tax cost of this item by this value in order to calculate the sales tax cost.

{Sales tax}=0.06\times\$2.35

Sales tax}=\$0.141

Round to two decimal places since our total is in dollars and cents.

{Sales tax}=\$0.14

Last, add this value to the pre-tax value of the item to find the total cost.

{Total cost}=\$2.35+\$0.14

{Total cost}=\$2.49

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find out what the sales tax is. You make 6% into 6/100 and  ?/159. You then cross multiply 6 times 159= 954 and you then divide 954 by 100 which gives you 9.54 or 10. Then you subtract 159 by 9.54 which gives you 149. The price limit is 149.
