Question

5 1/2 % tax on $20 is ?

Answer 1

ok. To find this you would convert 5.5% to a regular decimal... move the decimal point over to the left two places... now you have .055
You multiply .055 and 20 ... so .055(20) = 1.1
Your final answer for tax is $1.01 :)

Answer 2

$3.63 you just divide $20 by 5.5 %
