Answer:
$18
Step-by-step explanation:
I did the following expressions:
1,350 / 75 = 18
1,080 / 60 = 18
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)
