Question

At dinner a meal cost 22 and the sales tax of 1.87 was added to the bill how much would the sales tax be on a 66 meal

Answer 1

66 is 3x 22 so multiply the sales tax at 22$ by 3 or 1.87 * 3

Answer 2

$5.61

Explanation:

The information that we have is that the sales tax on the $22 meal was $1.87.

Cost sales tax

$22 ⇒ $1.87

And we need to know the sales tax on a meal of $66.

Since $66 is 3 times $22

3($22)=$66

the sales tax must also be 3 times bigger:

3($1.87)= $5.61

The sales tax on a $66 meal is $5.61

Cost sales tax

$22 ⇒ $1.87

$66 ⇒ $5.61
