1500 x 1.05 (1 for the car, and .05 for 5 percent)
Robert bought a used automobile for 1500 , if the sale tax is 15 percent what will be the total Robert have to pay for the automobile/
1,575
$1500×1.05=$1575.
$150.00 + ($150.00 * 0.05) = total$150.00 + $7.50 = $157.50
$1500.00 used car 75.00 sales tax ------------------------------- $1575.00 total paid
1000x14%=140 add to the $1000 brings the price to $1140.00
You take the cost ($150000) and multiply it by 1.05 (Adding the 1 automatically adds the tax onto the initial price for you) The .05 is there because 5% as a decimal is .05 When you multiply 150,000 (1.05) you get the final answer of $157,500
If you're saying that she paid the man $1,500.00 for a used automobile, the total is $1,500.00. If you are saying that the cost before tax was $1,500.00, then a 5% tax has to be applied. cost+5% = 105% = 1.05 x $1,500.00 = $1,575.00, or five additional dollars for every hundred spent.
