Question

Nick wants to purchase a pair of binoculars that is on sale for 155.75. The sales tax rate in his country is 6.5%.

Calculate the amount of sales tax Nick will pay on the purchase.

Answer 1

10.12

Explanation:

100%+6.5%=106.5%

106.5% divided by 100=1.065

155.75 multiplied by 1.065=165.87375..

165.87375-155.75=10.12375

which equals 10.12
