Question

$975, and there is 7 percent sales tax on the purchase.
How much is the sales tax?

Answer 1

$68.25

Explanation:

To get the sales tax, you must notice that the sales tax is 7% of 975.

That is equal to:

975 × 0.07

0.07 is equal to 7%, or
`(7)/(100)`.

The answer to the equation is 68.25.
