find the amount of sales tax for a dvd player that costs $75.00 at a 5% tax rate help?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so we wanna know 5% of 75. the easiest way to do that is multiply 0.05 and 75

OpenStudy (aripotta):

since 5% = 0.05

OpenStudy (aripotta):

another thing you could do is set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh, alright. Thank you~

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no problemo :)
