Question

In Oklahoma the state sales tax rate is 7%. If

James purchases a lawn mower at $350.00, then
how much will James pay in state sales tax?

Answer 1

Write 7% as a decimal by dividing by 100:

7/100 = 0.07

Multiple the price of the mower by the decimal:

350 x 0.07 = 24.50

The tax = $24.50
