6% is equal to 6/100 or 0.06

So, you have to pay the 27$ plus the taxes which is 6% of the 27$

0.06 x 27 = 1.62$

27+1.62 = 28.62$

The cost of the bicycle is $450.

Percentage

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the \(\rm{\dfrac{1}{4}\) of a pizza can be described as 25% of that pizza.

Given to us,

Sales tax = 6%

Tax given on bicycle = $27

Let the price of the bicycle be x. therefore,

6% of x = $27

\(\dfrac{6}{100} \times x = 27\\\\x = \dfrac{27\times 100}{6}\\\\x= \dfrac{2700}{6} = 450\)

Hence, the cost of the bicycle is $450.
