Question

Jack bought a magazine for $5. The sales tax is 6%. What is the total amount he will pay for the magazine? *

Answer 1

$5.30

Explanation:

Convert $5 to 500 cents

1% of 500 = 5

so, 6% will be 5 x 6 = 30

This is added on to the price of the magazine:

$5 + 30 cents = $5.30

$5×1.06 = $5.30
