Question

A baseball bat costs $69.50. If the sales tax is 6%, how much tax would be paid on this bat?

Answer 1

Well it depends on the amount of gum you found in your kitchen drawer

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

yes\

Answer 4

$69.50 * .06 = 4.17

69.50 + 4.17 = $73.67

Answer 5

The tax is 6% of the amount, so calculate 6% of $69.50
6% of $69.50
= 0.06 * $69.50
= $4.17
That is the final answer.

Don't add $4.17 to $69.50 because the question is how much the tax is, not how much the total price including tax is.
