Question

Can you help me check this question? The answer is apparently 16.00 but what I got was around 17.00. Thanks

Answer 1

In order to calculate how much was collected for sales tax, we need to calculate 8% of $216.

To do so, let's multiply 216 by 0.08:

`\begin{gathered} tax=216\cdot0.08\\ \\ tax=17.28 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the amount collected is $17.28.
