Question

If the sales tax for the city of Richmond is 6%, how much tax would you pay for a Playstation 5 that costs

$499.99?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredths place.
Sales tax?

Answer 1

start by converting 6% to a decimal by dividing by 100, = 0.06

Multiply that by the cost of the PlayStation five, and that is how much tax you pay.

499.99 x 0.06 = 29.9994
The question says to round it to the nearest hundredths, so it’s $30
