Question

With a 6% sales tax, how much tax will be charged on a $250
purchase?

Answer 1

15 dollars of tax will be charged on a $250 purchase.

Explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

6% of 250 will be charged on the purchase. 250 is 100%. So

250 - 1

x - 0.06

x = 250*0.06 = 15

15 dollars of tax will be charged on a $250 purchase.
