a xbox one costs $250. there is a 6% sales tax added to the price. what is the price of the xbox one after tax?

$259

Step-by-step explanation:

since we need to increase $250 by 6%, it is useful to find one percent because 1% is easy to find

to find one percent of 250, we move the decimal point(we cant see it right now) from after the number to after 2 giving us 2.50. we need to do this to find one percent because 1% is the same as one HUNDREDth, and since 100 has two zeros, we move the decimal place two spaces.now that we know that 1% is $2.50 ( which is the same as $2.5) we can times that by six which gives us 6%(because one times 6 is 6) to multiply 2.5 by 6, we first multiply 6 by 2 which will give us 12 and then multiply it by 0.5 (because 2 + 0.5 =2.5) 0.5 multiplied by 6 is equal to 3 and 3 + 6 = 9. we know know that 6% of $250 is $9. we now just add 9 to 250 leaving us with $259

Let total amount spent =x

Dita spent 35 % of total amount.

35% of x = 0.35x

So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x

% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x

We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,

so making equation we have ,

Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12

x=80

So total amount spent was $80.

Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16

So amount spent by Benton is $16.
