sales tax = pre-tax price x (state rate + local rate) / 100
total = pre-tax price + sales tax

Worked example

A $250.00 purchase in Wichita, at the 7.5% combined rate (6.5% state + 1% local):

1. Combined rate = 6.5% + 1% = 7.5%.
2. Sales tax = 250 x 0.0750 = $18.75.
3. Total = 250 + 18.75 = $268.75.
