Read the scenario below and determine the missing values.

Answer:Marcus buys a new winter coat with a price tag of

80.00. The store applies a 5% sales tax to all clothing purchases. The amount of sales tax added to his purchase is

【4】, which brings the total cost of the coat to $【84】.

The sales tax amount is

4.00 and the total cost is

84.00.

First, the 5% tax on the

80.00 coat is calculated by multiplying 80 by 0.05, yielding

4.00 for the isolated tax amount. Then, this

4.00 tax is added to the initial

80.00 price, resulting in a final total of $84.00.

Calculate the amount of sales tax.

80.00 \times 0.05 =

4.00

To find the tax amount, convert the percentage (5%) to a decimal (0.05) and multiply it by the original price.

Calculate the final total cost.

80.00 +

4.00 = $84.00

The final total is the sum of the original price and the calculated sales tax.
