Question

Which would be a good estimate for the tax on $97.95 if the tax is 9.5%?

$12

$10.50

$10

$8.50

Answer 1

The answer is $10. Don't worry I took the same lesson and it was correct :)

Answer 2

It would be $10. There is a formula to this "madness". Divide $97.95 by 9.5%. Ignore the rest of the numbers. (I'm pretty sure it has like 7 or 8, but I only went up to 3. Just make sure you have have the whole number, $10). Hope this helps.
