Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the price including sales tax for the Big Mac

To find the price including a 6% sales tax for the Big Mac priced at $4.49, we use the formula: \[ \text{Price with tax} = \text{Original Price} \times (1 + \text{Sales Tax Rate}) \] \[ \text{Price with tax} = 4.49 \times 1.06 \] \[ \text{Price with tax} = 4.49 \times 1.06 = 4.7534 \]

Final Answer

The price that includes sales tax for the Big Mac priced at $4.49 is $4.75 (rounded to two decimal places).
