Answer:

C

Explanation:

First of all it's not that you aren't very good at math it's just that you don't YET understand the concepts,... Believe me when I say that I've been there!!!

To solve this problem you have to look at it as a solve for the unknown problem,... They say that The FORMULA (important) is the following:

S = Ar

This can be written:

S = A * r

They then say that

S = sales tax,

A = cost of the product

r = local sales-tax rate,...

THEN they start giving you information,... they say the COST of a television (cost of the product) is $400 dollars you can now enter this info in you formula,... A = cost of product,... so switch the letter with the assigned info,...

S = $400 * r

...and the sales tax is $24 dollars,... S stands for sales tax so switch the variable for the dollar amount,...

$24 = $400 * r

Now you just have to solve the equation (figure out $400 * what = $24) and easy way to do this is to simply divide $24 by $400,...

$24/$400=0.06,...

0.06 = 6.0% = 6.00%

Hope I helped, You can learn anything!,... Me out,... Chow,...!
