Question

HELP, I need to know quick. Please help, What is the sales tax on a $8.50 item if the sales - tax rate is 61/2

Answer 1

Tax rate is 6 1/2%. So we need to multiply 6 1/2% by 8.50 to find the tax.

First convert 6 1/2% to decimal by dividing by 100 (move decimal 2 places left).

6.5% = .065

now multiply

8.50 × .065 = .55

6 1/2% tax on 8.50 is .55 (55 cents)
