1. Lesson 3-2 Example 4 3-2 Solve. Mike ordered a motor scooter online. The scooter costs $1,000 plus 6% sales tax. What was the total amount Mike paid for his motor scooter? Understand Read the problem. Write what you know. The motor scooter costs $1,000. The sales tax rate is 6%.

2. Lesson 3-2 Example 4 3-2 Plan Pick a strategy. One strategy is to solve a simpler problem. Find 6% of 100. By definition of percent, 6% of $100 is $6.

3. Lesson 3-2 Example 4 3-2 Solve 6% of $1,000 is 10 ● $6 = $60. So, the total cost is $1,000 + $60 = $1,060. Mike paid a total amount of $1,060.
