Question

A television stand at Wiles' Discount Mart is $187, and the sales tax is 6%. What is the amount of tax to be paid for the TV?

Answer 1

$11.22

Explanation:

100% = 187

1% = 187/100 = $1.87

6% = 1%×6 = 1.87×6 = $11.22

Answer 2

In this case, you need to calculate the 6% of the price, which is 187 $.

We only need to multiply the price (187) by the percentage (6%):

187 * 0.06 = 11.22

So the tax would be $11.22
