Question

Five famous mathematics went out to eat. the bill was $52. the tax rate was 6%. calculate the tax.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

If the bill was $52 and the tax rate is 6% then the total tax is equal to the 6% of $52. When we want to know the p% of a quantity Q we just need to multiply Q by p and divided by 100. Then the p% of Q is:

`Q\cdot(p)/(100)`

If we apply this to our problem we get:

`tax=52\cdot(6)/(100)=52\cdot0.06=3.12`Answer

Then the answer is $3.12.
