Question

4. A 5% tax is added onto a $75 online order. How much are the taxes?

Answer 1

We have the following:

We know that 100% is the value of the purchase of $ 75, therefore, if we add 5%, it would be 105%, that is equal to 1.05, so we multiply the value of 75 by 1.05, and we are left with the following

`\begin{gathered} 75\cdot1.05=78.75 \\ 78.75-75=3.75 \end{gathered}`

Total value is $78.75 and taxes are 3.75
