Question

Okay. I am so dumb at math. Goodness. I get A's in everything else, but I am so not getting the computation steps to get an answer. So here is the problem. What is 7 percent sales tax on $279? I know that I have to multiply 0.7 X 279, but is the answer $19.53 tax or is it $1.95? Please help!
