Question

A dollhouse is on sale for $160. The tax rate is 5 14 %. Without calculating, will the tax be greater than, less than, or equal to $8?

Answer 1

So the tax will be greater than $8

Explanation:

50% of $160 = half of $160 = $80

80/10 = 8 so 50%/10 = 5%

Therefore, $8 is 5%

So the tax will be greater than $8
