Question

Nick bought a music player. The price was $172, and the sales tax rate was 7 percent. How much sales tax did Nick pay when he bought the music player?

Answer 1

The answer is $12.04.

The calculation for the sales tax is
`172* ( (0.07)/(100)`. You'd add the original price to get the total payment. Hoped this helped :)

Answer 2

7% sales tax on $172 is $12.04
