    To calculate sales tax, multiply the item's price by the sales tax rate (as a decimal). Then add the tax amount to the original price. Formula: Sales Tax = Price × Tax Rate. Total Cost = Price + Sales Tax.

    The way to calculate sales tax is to multiply the price of the item by the sales tax rate and then add the result to the initial price. For instance, if an item is priced at $100 and there is an 8% sales tax, it will cost $108.

    Sales tax is calculated by multiplying the item's price by the tax rate. Convert the tax rate into a decimal first, then add the calculated tax amount to the original price to get the final total.
