Answer:

in order to find percentages you have to multiply the base cost by the tax and then divide it by 100

Explanation:

base price is 14500

tax rate is 9 percent

(14500 × 9 ) ÷ 100

or you can just do this

14500 × 0.09 = 1305

since multiplying by 9 then dividing by 100 is equal to multiplying by 0.09 (9/100)

14500+1305= 15805
