What is the actual after-tax cost of the coffee maker?

Example 3: This deep fryer is $91.99.

Example 4: Grocery Bill. Find the actual after tax price.

Classwork:

Calculating the price of an item that ONLY has the federal portion of HST:

Ex. Kid’s pair of pants, at $19.99:

1.  Find the EXACT after tax cost of a child’s sweater that costs $13.99

2.  Find the EXACT after tax cost of purse that costs $16.39
