Question

If you buy a cell phone fo $829 and the sales tax is 7.5%, then how much is the sales tax for the phone?​

Answer 1

about $62.18

Explanation:

Just find the amount of the percentage so,

7.5% of 829 = 62.175

So the tax for the phone is 62.175,

Now round it to the nearest tenth since you can't pay 62.175 because you can't pay half a cent.

62.175 = about $62.18
