Question

You want to buy a new video game for $60. Sales tax is 6.5%. How much will you pay in sales tax?

Answer 1

`\text{ \$3.9}`

Step-by-step explanation: The price of a video game before tax is $60 and there is a 6.5% tax on it, therefore after the tax, the new price would be:

`((6.5)/(100)*60)+60=(3.9+60)\Rightarrow\text{ \$63.9 After 6.5\% Tax}`

So the money to be paid to sales tax is $3.9

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Because}\colon \\ \Delta P=\text{ \$63.9-\$60=\$3.9} \end{gathered}`
