Question

Can anybody help me with this?

Answer 1

Explanation:

6% = 0.06 as a decimal fraction

Tax on $10

= 10 * 0.06

= 0.60

Sales tax = 60 cents.

Total cose = $10.60.

Answer 2

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{6\% of 10}}{\left( \cfrac{6}{100} \right)10}\implies 0.6\hspace{5em}\underset{ total~cost }{\stackrel{10~~ + ~~0.6 }{\text{\LARGE 10.6}}}`
