Answer 1

Santino bought a book for $23.54. The price of the book was $22. What was the sales-tax rate?

Answer 2

the actual tax was $1.54 so your job is to write
\[\frac{1.54}{22}\] as a percent
use a calculator, move the decimal point two places left

Answer 3

The price of a pair of shoes is $45.90. The sales-tax rate is 5 percent. How much sales tax do you need to pay?

Answer 4

I'll venture a guess a hoo. :P

5 percent = .05
Multiply rate times price
.05 x 45.90 = 2.295
Sales tax = 2.29 or 2.30
Add to 45.90
Total Price = 48.19 or 48.20
