Answer:

$151.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price after the tax is implemented,

set a relationship x/140=8/100 (8/100) basically means 8%.

cross multiply (140)(8)=1120. Then divide it by 100x, you get $11.2.

But that's just 8 percent of the total amount. So you need to add onto the original price, 140+11.2=$151.2.
