Question

You pay 6% tax on a $80 sweatshirt. How much is the total

Answer 1

Well, in order to find your answer, you must first find what 6% of 80 is.

To do this, I would first make a chart in order to help me remember what each number equals to.

80 is equal to 100%

And an unknown number is equal to 6% of 80

So this would be my chart:

80 100

? 6

Now multiply 80 by the number diagonally across to it, meaning the number 6.

`80 * 6=480`

Now divide the product by the number across from 80, or the number 100.

`480/100=4.8`

6% of $80 is $4.80

Now add the 6% tax to the price of the sweatshirt.

`80+4.80=84.80`

The total would be $84.80
