Question

An antique has a price tag of $409. The sales tax rate for the county is 9.5%. How much sales tax will be due?

Answer 1

`$\$38.855$`

Explanations:

Given the following parameters:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Price tag = \$409} \\ \text{Tax rate = 9.5\%} \end{gathered}`

Get the sales tax price;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Sales tax price = 9.5\% of Price tag} \\ \text{Sales tax price = 9.5\% of \$409} \\ \text{Sales tax price }=\text{ 0.095}*409 \\ \text{Sales tax price =\$}38.855 \end{gathered}`

Hence the price of the sales tax is $38.855
