    Cash $7,085

    Sales Tax Payable $585

    Sales $6,500

    Explanation:

    Sales tax is the amount of tax collected by the business on the taxable sales from customers on behalf of government and pay it to government after that. Sales tax will be included in the cash received from the customer and recorded as the payable for the business.

    Sales Value = $6,500

    Sales Tax = 9%

    Sales inclusive of Sales tax = $6,500 x 109% = $6,500 x 1.09 = $7,085
