Question

The city of Savannah recently increased their sales tax from 7% to 8%. How much more tax will you pay on a $20 purchase?
A) $0.10
B) $0.20
C) $0.75
D) $0.80

Answer 1

D. 80 cents. 20.0 is 100%. So move the decimal over one place, and you have 10% (2.0) So if you do it one more time (0.20) You would have 1%. Multiply 0.2 by 8 and you would have your answer.

Answer 5

Try again! It's not D

Answer 6

20 * 0.07 = 1.40
20 * 0.08 = 1.60

The delta between 1.60 and 1.40 IS NOT 0.80
