Your question is vague, but we can assume you're talking about adding sales tax to an item that is sold at retail. If the sales tax is 5 percent, multiply the item's tag price by 1.05, which gives you the total price. For example, if a sweater is 20 bucks, multiply that by 1.05, which gives you 21 dollars. Some people calculate the tax and then add it to the price. Five percent of 20 bucks is one dollar, so 20 plus one is 21.

How do you find the total cost of a item with tax?
First you calculate the amount of the tax on the item. Then you add together the original cost of the item and the tax.
How do you calculate tax eighth grade math?
the way I learned was to add the percent of tax on to 100% and multiply whatever your taxing by that. for example: 6% tax on a $7 item 106% times $7.
If you sold an item for 20.00 and included sales tax and your sales tax rate is 7.3 what was the item price before sales tax?
The easiest way to understand the answer is to turn it around. If you wanted to calculate the item price plus tax, you would multiply the item price by 1.073. So, to back up to the item price from the item price plus tax, divide the item price plus tax by 1.073. $20.00 / 1.073 = item price before sales tax.
An item is priced at 13.31 If the sales tax is 8 percent what does the item cost including sales tax?

How do you add tax to a price?
If the tax is 10 percent and the price of the item is $1.00 then you simply calculate 10% of 1.0. = 10 cents and add it to the original price.You would charge the person $1.10 (including tax).The simple way to calculate the final price mathematically is to express the percent as a decimal and add 1 to it. Then multiply the price by this number.I.e If the tax is 5.6% you would express this a 0.056 + 1 = 1.056 and multiple the pre tax price by this number.
