The total price of the bicycle in Pierce county is $4136.24

An equation shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let P represent the total price after taxes. The tax rate is 10.3% and the price of the bicycle is $3749.99. Hence:

Tax = 10.3% of $3749.99 = 0.103 * 3749.99 = $386.25

The total price (P) is:

P = $3749.99 + Tax = $3749.99 + $386.25

P = $4136.24

Therefore, the total price of the bicycle in Pierce county is $4136.24
