Question

the state sales tax in pennsylvania is 0.06. if your total bill at the music store included $1.32 in tax, how much did the merchants cost?

Answer 1

The merchants cost $22 because, for $1 there would be 0.06 which is 6 cents tax. So, 6 times 22 is 132 which can also be 1 dollar and 32 cents. Henceforth, $1-6 cents. $22-$1.32 tax.
