Question

Sales Tax. The sales tax on a purchase of L dollars is 6%. Write an algebraic expression that represents the total amount of sales tax.

Answer 1

The value is
`T =  0.06L`

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sales tax is
`k = 6\%`

Generally the total amount of sales tax is mathematically represented as

`T =  6\%  \ of \  L`

=>
`T =  (6)/(100)  * L`

=>
`T =  0.06L`
