Answer:

$90.18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:
Original cost = $83.50
Sales tax = 8%

In order to find the price paid for the chair, we find 8 percent of the original price. Then we add that number to the $83.50 for the chair and then we will have our answer.

[tex]\frac{8\times83.5}{100} =8\times83.5=668\div100=6.68[/tex]

Sales tax of the chair is $6.68.

[tex]83.50+6.68=90.18[/tex]

Total cost of the chair after an 8 percent sales tax is "$90.18 dollars."

Hope this helps.
