Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the total amount charged, we need to add the price of the television and the amount of sales tax.

Amount of sales tax = 8.3% of $945 = 0.083 * $945 = $78.44 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Total amount charged = $945 + $78.44 = $1023.44 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Therefore, the correct answer is A. First, we need to find out how much the sales tax is by multiplying the price of the television by the tax rate: 
$945 * 0.083 = $78.44

Then, we add the tax amount to the original price of the television to find the total amount charged:
$945 + $78.44 = $1023.44

Therefore, the best choice is A.
