It is simple if you don't know. You just have to like for example when you want to find out the sales tax of something. If the item is um let's say $23 and you have 6% sales tax, you just have to multiply $23 by 0.06 as well as the percent is 25%, you need to multiply it by 0.25. So, back to 6%. We multiplied 23 x 0.06 = 1.38 So that is the tax. Then you add $23 + $1.38 = $24.38. See? It's THAT easy.;)
