<u>Percentages</u>
To increase a certain amount by a given percentage, we can first calculate the increasing amount and then add it to the original amount.
If the price of the basket of watermelons was $9 before tax, and the sales tax is 9%, we first calculate the tax amount to pay:
$9 * 9 / 100 = $0.81
Now we add it to $9 to get the total price paid by Tiffany:
Total price = $9 + $0.81 = $9.81
Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons
