﻿﻿﻿﻿Percents and Proportions Alex bought a playground and now wants a swingset to go with it. It is $94.87 (price without sales tax). What is the total price with sales tax?

First, put sales tax over total (=) % over 100. The sales tax is X because we don't know what it is. The Total is $94.87 and the % is 5. Cross Multiply.

You get 474.35, now divide both sides by 100. You get 4.7435...(rounded to the nearest tenth) is 4.74. Add $94.87 to $4.74 and you get $99.61 as the total with sales tax.
