In this problem, we were told that a person bought a coat that cost $98 .95 and gloves that cost $7 .95, and that the sales tax is 6%.
00:10
We want to know the total for this purchase.
00:12
Well, think about if you were at the store and you went to the register.
00:16
They would first bring up the total cost for everything that you bought.
00:19
So what we need to do first is add the price of the coat, which is $98 .95, plus the cost of the gloves, which is $7 .95.
00:30
And that equals $106 .90.
00:36
Next, what the register would do is figure out how much tax would be made on this order.
00:43
Well, in other words, we need to figure out 6 % of $106 .90.
00:48
So to do that, we take the total, which is $106 .90, and we need to multiply our sales tax as a decimal.
00:57
Well, remember, 6%.
00:59
To convert this to a decimal, we must.
01:01
Move the decimal point, two places to the left...
