Question

Hiroto paid $4.28 sales tax the items that he purchased if the sales tax rate with 6.25% what was the total cost of the items before tax was added

Answer 1

68.48

Explanation:

Consider you were to have $68.48 and 6.25%, you'd turn the percentage into a decimal and multiply the two. (.0625 x 68.48) You'd be met with the previous answer, 4.28. But you have two different numbers, so instead, you have to divide. (4.28 / .0625) ((The "/" represents division, not just here but you can use it on calculators and stuff too.)) Hope this helped!
