Question

I have been stuck on this one for a while! Please help!! Thanks in advance!!!

A television priced at $299. There is a 6% sales tax. How much sales tax is paid on the TV, not the total price?

Answer 1

$17.94 is paid for sales tax

Explanation:

Sales tax rate × Price without sales tax = Amount of sales tax

0.06 × 299 = 17.94

(Total paid for the television: $316.94)

Hope this helps :)
