Problema Solution

The harmonized sales tax (HST) is 13% of the price of an item. Jacques sees a cordless drill on a final sale table for $26.54. How much will Jacques have to give the clerk for the drill?

13% of $26.54 or 0.13*$26.54 = $3.35

$26.54 + $3.35 = $29.99

Jacques has to give $29.99 to the clerk for the drill.
