Jim bought dishes for his new apartment. They were $40.87 and there is a 6% sales tax. Calculate the sales tax.

Sagot :

To find x% of a number y, divide x by 100, then multiply the answer by y

Since the cost of the dishes is $40.87

Since the sales tax is 6% of it, then

Divide 6 by 100, then multiply by 40.87

[tex]\begin{gathered} ST=\frac{6}{100}\times40.87 \\ ST=2.4522 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The sales tax is $2.4522
