First, change the 4% into a decimal. Once thats changed, it will be 1.04
Multiply 1.04 by the amount of the cost, to get your answer.
But, to make this easier, and to not go through more work, lets round your money amount to $250
Now, all you have to do is multiply.
$250 · 1.04 ≈ $260
So, your answer for $250 with 4% (1.04) percent sales tax would be a grand total of:
$260
