How much sale tax he should pay?
Sales tax is an amount that is added to the items that you purchase.
The formula for finding the sales tax is given by,
⇒ Sales tax = Cost of the item × Sales tax rate
Here in the question it is given that,
- Randy bought a pair of shoes for $51, a tie for $18 and a new belt for $25
- The sales tax rate is 8%
We have to find the sales tax he paid.
By using the formula of sales tax we get,
⇒ Sales tax = Cost of the item × Sales tax rate
So by multiplying cost of the item and the percentage of sales tax we get,
- Sales tax of the pair of shoes, ⇒ $51 × 8% = $51 × 0.08 = $4.08
- Sales tax of the tie, ⇒ $18 × 8% = $18 × 0.08 = $1.44
- Sales tax of the new belt, ⇒ $25 × 8% = $25 × 0.08 = $2
Hence the sales tax he should pay for the pair of shoes is $4.08, for the tie is $1.44 and for the new belt is $2 given that she bought the pair of shoes for $51, the tie for $18 and the new belt for $25 and the sales tax is 8%.
