Question

$2.99 for socks with 5.5% as the sales tax

Answer 1

5.5% = 0.055
total amount = original price + tax
so 2.99 + (0.055)(2.99) = ?

Answer 2

\(\bf {\color{red}{ a}}\%\ of \ b=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ a}}}{100}\times b\qquad \qquad

{\color{red}{ 5.5}}\%\ of \ 2.99=\cfrac{{\color{red}{ 5.5}}}{100}\times 2.99\)
