Question

The sales tax on a $150 DVD player is $6. What is the sales tax rate?

Answer 1

What percent of 150=6
X/100 * 150=6
/150. /150
X/100=0.04
X/100 *100/1 =0.04* 100/1
X=4
4% of 150=6

That means that for every dollar they take 4 cents from each dollar
150*4 pennies would equal 600 pennies or 6$ or 6.00
Hope this helps!
