Question

You're an automotive body repairer who is writing an estimate for a customer. You
figure the repair work will cost about $450.00 before tax. If the tax rate is 6%, how
much will the customer pay after tax?
$477.00
$720.00
$588.00

Answer 1

Answer:

$100.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the total price ($434.50) and the sales price ($415) is the tax ($19.50).  To find the sales tax as a percentage of the sales price, divide the sales tax by the sales price and then multiply by 100:

19.50415(100)=4.70
