Question

Mrs. Smith spent $67.40 on groceries. The tax rate is 2%. What is the amount of sales tax?

Answer 1

68.75

Explanation:

to find the tax you multiply the total by the tax percentage 67.40 x .02 = 1.35

so the total for just tax is 1.35 so you add that to how much the groceries were originally

67.40+1.35=68.75
