HELP ME PLS When solving a proportion to find the 12% tax, t, on a purchase price of $124.29, your cross multiplication led to the cross product equation:

100t = 1,491.48


Describe what step you can take from there in order to find the tax, t, and then state the amount of tax you calculated. Be sure to label your answer and round any decimal to the nearest hundredth.
