Question

Ok I have a question! Can someone teach me how to do tax sale math? Or explain?

Answer 1

Let's say you buy a shirt. The shirt costs $10.00. The tax in your area is 9%.

This means that 9% of your purchase will be added to the subtotal to get the total.

9% of 10 is .9 (money speaking, its 9 cents.)

Therefore, you will add 9 cents to the total $10 for the shirt,

So now you pay $10.09 all together.

Does this make sense?

Answer 2

tax sale math has to do with percentages and decimals. the percentage is usually given and when it is you multiply the total cost by the tax and add then add what you get from that to your original cost and you have your total
