Question

If the sales tax for the city of San Antonio is 8.25%, how much tax would

you pay for an item that costs $200.00?

Answer 1

$16.5

Explanation:

If the 100% of the quantity you're asking about is $200. What is the 8.25% of that same quantity?

You can organize your equation like this:

100% --------- $200

8.25%---------X

X= 8.25x200 = 1650

1650/ 100%= 16.5!

Answer 2

It will be $216.5 after the purchase.

Explanation:

I multiplied 200 times 8.25% which was equal to 16.5, and added that to 200, giving you 216.5.
