Question

A pair of sneakers costs $57.80. If the sales tax is 5%, how much tax would be paid on this pair of sneakers?

Answer 1

It is a multiplication problem. Multiply.

What does "costs" mean? Is that the sticker price or the out-the-door price?

Answer 2

\[57.80 * .05\]

Answer 3

simple... just use this formula....

Final price = [ (Tax rate/100) + 1 ] × Original price
Final price = [ (5/100) +1] * 57.80 ..... .solve now @sione123
