Answer 1

Peter paid 84 cent in taxs

Answer 2

Answer: $0.84 or 84 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter paid $12.83 for a DVD even though the price of the DVD player was $11.99.

To get the amount of sales tax Peter paid, we would subtract the price of the DVD player from the price paid by Peter. This will give:

=$12.83 - $11.99

= $0.84

Since 100 cents make a dollar, this will be: $0.84 × 100

= 84 cents
