Question

If my total is 40.00 dollars, and the state sales tax is 4.65%...how much would the total be WITH the sales tax?

Answer 1

$4,223,442.12

Answer 2

i am definitely positive that a calculator would have been easier then signing on to yahoo and asking this question.

$41.86

Answer 3

$41.86

Is this a real question?

Answer 4

40 * .0465   = T.  Add T to 40 and you get your answer.

Or you could just take a shortcut and do 40 * 1.0465

Answer 5

$41.86

40.00 x 1.0465

use 1.0465 so it adds the 40 dollars back in to the answer.

Answer 6

40.00 * .0465

=1.85

40.00+1.85= 41.85

Answer 7

40 x .0465 = 1.86

$40.00 + $1.86 = $41.86

Answer 8

you would take the cost of whatever you were buying and multiply it by the sales tax.

(4.56% in decimal form is 0.0456 and the one means that you are going to add cost of the object, 100%, which in decimal form is 1, to the sales tax)

t= 40 x 1.0456

there fore the total cost would be about $41.82

Answer 9

take a calculator if you have one and multiply

40 x .0465, that will give you $1.86

for example, if you wanted to know how much

7% sales tax would be on a $25 purchase,

that would be 25 x .07 or  $1.75

Answer 10

$41.86!

Answer 11

41.864954122

Answer 12

41.85. To find the tax, you take the tax percent, move the decimal over 2 places and X by the price of the item. That's how much the tax will cost.

Answer 13

Yes.. That is correct. $41.86

Answer 14

$41.86

Answer 15

Why cant you do this yourself???

Answer 16

Probably around 42 dollars.  

   10% of $40.00 is $4.00

   so 4.65% is a little less than half of 10%

  so if 10% is 4.00, then half of 10% will be 2.00



  So just add $2.00 and you will be very close. to the amount.

Answer 17

Answer 18

$41.86

All you do is take the sales amount then times it by the sales tax and that is the amount of the tax.

So you take 40 times .0465 is $1.86.

$40 plus $1.86 is $41.86

Answer 19

$41.86 it is.

It would be:

((40.00 x 4.65) / 100) + 40 = 41.86
