Click run to see the console output

In the above program, we have added an async method, CalculateTotalAfterTaxAsync, that takes an argument of float which represents the value to calculate upon.

Inside the method, if you notice, we are awaiting a task created on a background thread. As mentioned previously, we use this methodology, CPU Bound asynchronous method, when we need to do some offline heavy calculation that doesn't rely on specific I/O operation.
