Question

The price of pair of shoes is $63.20. The sales tax rate is 4.5 percent. How much sales tax would you pay if you bought these shoes

Answer 1

2.84 because $63.20 is the price and 4.5 is the percent

Answer 2

We can convert 4.5% into a decimal form by moving the decimal to the left two places. This becomes: .045

63.20 x .045 = $2.84
