Question

Gina buys a television priced at $70. If the sales tax is 5%, how much tax will Gina pay?

Answer 1

Answer: $73.50

Explanation:

First, we need to find what is 5% worth of 70 bucks. We would divide 5 by 100 since percents are based on 100 which gets us 0.05. Next do 0.05 * 70 = 3.5. Means that she'll pay $3.50 on top of the 70 bucks, so add the two together, common sense: $73.50. Have a good day ;)

Answer 2

Explanation:

The answer is gotten by 5% of 70

5/100 × 70/1

= 35/10

= 3.5
