Question

If the total is 60 dollars but the sales price is 5% of the bill ,how much is the sales tax?

Answer 1

Hope that helps

ANSWER: $3

STEP BY STEP:

First we have to turn 5% into a fraction by dividing it by 100 ⇩

5. / 100 = .05

Then get this number and multiply it by 60⇩

60 x .05 = $3

This is the sales tax. To find out how much you have to pay after the tax you add it to the original 60

60 + 3 = $63
