The tax charged is \$17.22, and the total cost is \$222.22.
Solución
1. Write the sales tax rate as a decimal:
\[
8.4\% = 0.084
\]
2. Calculate the tax amount on a \$205 purchase:
\[
\text{Tax} = 205 \times 0.084 = 17.22
\]
3. Compute the total cost by adding the tax to the original price:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 205 + 17.22 = 222.22
\]
The tax charged is \$17.22, and the total cost is \$222.22.

To find the sales tax charged on a purchase of $205, you multiply the purchase amount by the tax rate. So, you calculate \( 205 \times 0.084 = 17.22 \). Therefore, the tax charged is $17.22. Now, to find the total cost, you simply add the sales tax to the original purchase price: \( 205 + 17.22 = 222.22 \). Thus, the total cost is $222.22. Here you go! The tax charged is $17.22, and the total cost is $222.22.
