Question

Tony bought a computer. He paid $450.00 plus sales tax. The sales tax

was 6%. How much did he pay in sales tax?

Answer 1

$27

Explanation:

We have to find 6% of $450. We can make an expression and solve it:

6/100•450

We can cancel out factors now:

3/50•450

Now we'll cancel out 50 and 450:

3x9=$27

And that's your answer! Hope this helps =)
