i bought a camera for 429.90 and have to calculate the 4% sales tax and round to the nearest tenth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you times it by .04 or divide it by .4? if i do at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

429.90 * 0.04 = 17.196; rounded is $17.20 (.04 = 4%)

@drtbikracer295 Dividing by .4 will make a number larger than the original price.
