To find the total amount Mr. Brooks will pay for the television set after including sales tax, you first need to calculate the sales tax amount and then add it to the initial price of the television set.
Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Convert the sales tax rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. So, 6% becomes 0.06. 2. Multiply the price of the television by the decimal sales tax rate to find the sales tax amount. $850 * 0.06 = $51 3. Add the sales tax amount to the original price to find the total amount payable. $850 + $51 = $901
So, after including a 6% sales tax, the total amount Mr. Brooks will pay for the television set is $901.
