Suppose you buy a $50 coffee maker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your total price. How much would you pay total? please help me with this question since this is due tommorow and I will get a 0% if it's not on time

4

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4

you will have to pay a total of 54$

Step-by-step explanation:

50$ : 100% = x : 108% (+8% for the tax   100+8+108)

100x = 108 x 50

100x = 5400

5400 ÷ 100 = 54

Total 54 $
