Price of sneakers 245,and the sales tax 6.5%.what is the total cost of the speakers including sales tax

First, we can divide the percentage (6.5) over 100.

6.5/100 = 0.06

Second, we can multiply the decimal by the cost of the sneakers.

0.06 × 245 = 15.92

So, now we know that the 6.5% tax will make us add an extra $15.92 to the total cost of the shoes. Our last step is to add the extra dollars onto the original cost of the sneakers.

15.92 + 245 = 260.92



The total cost of the sneakers will be $260.92.
