I basically did $18.50 x 4 = $64.00 then I subtracted $80.29 - $64.00 = $16.29

So the tax was $16.29

I hope this helped you!

So first what you have to do is divide $80.29 by four that should be 18.50 plus tax then you subtract that amount from 18.50 to find your tax amount which is 1.5725 then what you do is you turn that number as a percentage that will be your answer


Answer:157.25% hope im correct
