Question

louine bought a computer for 180$ and paid 10.80$ what percent of the cost is the sales tax? (Please help and explain)

Answer 1

Cost of the computer is $180.
Sales tax is $10.80.
sales Tax percentage is 60.

Answer 2

6%
to find the percentage you divide 10.80$ by 180$ and get 0.06
0.06 is 6% in decimal form
therefore there was 6% sales tax (sales tax is usually 6-8% so this makes sense anyway)
