Question

the price of an item is 4.56 and the tax rate is 8%. find the tax in the item by multiplying 4.56 by .08 and round the product to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

ok 4.56 * 0.08 is 4.56 * 8 / 100

4.56* 8 is 45.60 - 9.12 because times by ten then minus times by 2 = 36.48

divide by 100 is 0.3648 then times to get in pence so 37 pence is tax on the item
