Answer:

$4.80 was the tax so the entire cost would be 64.80

Answer:

$64.8

Step-by-step explanation:

$60 is 100% of the price of the skateboard or the price before tax was involved

Now, John has to pay a tax of 8%, or add 8% of the price of the skateboard to the total bill.

To increase by 8%, you must find 108% of 60, the price of the skateboard

To do this, you multiply 60 by 1.08

Solve:

  • 108% of 60
  • 1.08*60 = 64.8

John paid $[tex]\boxed{64.8}[/tex] for his skateboard
