Answer:

Not sure I understand your question.

If the tax rate is 6.25% and you need the tax from $73.97, tax is:

= 6.25% * 73.97

= $4.62

Converting 6.25% to decimal.

First understand that when a percent sign(%) is next to a number it means that the number is a fraction and its denominator is 100.

6.25% = 6.25/100

To convert to decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator:

= 6.25 ÷ 100

= 0.0625
