Question

An item has a listed price of $60. If the sales tax rate is 8%, how much is the sales tax (in dollars)?

Answer 1

$64.80

Explanation:

To find a percentage you just multiply the amount x the percentage in decimal form.

60 x 0.08 = 4.8 tax

Then you add that number to the original total.

60+4.8 = 64.8

Then you round to the nearest cent.

64.80

Total:

$64.80

Answer 2

4.80 is the sales tax

Explanation:

60.00 + 8%

60*.08=4.80
