Question

The sales tax rate is 10%. If Matt buys a computer keyboard priced at $34, how much tax

will he pay?

Answer 1

$3.40

Explanation:

10% of $34

=
`(10)/(100)` × $34

= 0.1 × $34

=$3.40

Answer 2

He will pay $3.50 and in total $38.50 because 10x35 is 350 and when you divide by 100 you get 3.5 which can also be 3.50
