OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats fine just write the question already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok find the total cost or sale price to the nerest cent $69shoes 6%saels tax

OpenStudy (anonymous):

total cost: $73.14. sales tax: $4.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply 69 * 0.6% and you get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100 minus 6(the percent) would be 94, so you do 69 minus 94% = 4.14(the sales tax). then add 4.14 to 69 and you get $73.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok $2.99socks ;5.5%sales tax

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100 minus 5.5(the sales tax) = 94.5. so you do 2.99 - 94.5% which is 0.16 which is 16 cents in money. then, $2.99 plus $0.16 = $3.15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can youdo it in a simpel way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's my simple way. idk any other way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay ill try to explain it differently.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other toutor just told me to multaply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to buy a pair of socks with are $2.99 with a 5.5% sales tax. 100-5.5=94.5. Then get the 2.99 and do 2.99-94.5% on a calculator. (if you can't use a calculator, use mental math). 2.99-94.5% is $0.16. Get your sock amount and add the sales tax and you get $4.15, your total amount.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I am still here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know, this is how I do it to know that I am doing it right. by the way, when you do these kind of problems, you always have to do 100 minus the sales tax to do the problem. do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not that much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ask your mom or dad or relative that is older than you to explain it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you i have to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay bye:)
