The price of the laptop = $299.99

Given, sales tax = 6%

To find the amount for sales tax we have to find 6% of $299.99.

So the amount of sales tax =

6% of $299.99 = 299.99 * (6/100) = (299.99*6) / 100

= 1799.94/100 = 17.9994

So we have got sales tax = $17.9994

Therefore, the total cost for laptop including sales tax is selling price of laptop + sales tax.

Total cost for laptop = $299.99+$17.9994 = $317.9894

We have got the required answer.

Total cost for laptop is $317.9894
