Question

jack paid $2.60 sales tax on a $52 pair of shoes that he purchased. how much sales tax will his friend pay if his friend purhases a $28 shirt?

Answer 1

$2.60 is 5% of $52 because: 2.6 ÷ 52 = 0.05(5 %)

5% = 0.05

Find 5% of $28:

0.05 × 28 = 1.4

Answer = His friend will pay $1.40 for sales tax

Hope this helped☺☺
