Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.
Make sure you put the sales tax into decimal form. You do this by taking the percentage and sliding the decimal point two places to the left:
7.5% sales tax becomes .075 in decimal form
3.4% sales tax becomes .034 in decimal form
5% sales tax becomes .05 in decimal form
Example: $60 (item cost) x .075 (sales tax) = $4.5 total sales tax

-3/v=-6 simply as much as possible

Hey!

In order to simplify this equation, we'll first have to multiply both sides of the equation by v. This will give us v on its own.

Original Equation :
$\frac{-3}{v} = -6$

New Equation {Added Multiply Both Sides by V} :
$\frac{-3}{v} v=-6v$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$-3 = -6v$

Now we'll switch sides to get v on the left side of the equation which is generally where we always want the variables to be located in these types of equations.

Old Equation :
$-3 = -6v$

New Equation {Switched} :
$-6v=-3$

Now we'll divide both sides by v to get v on its own.

Old Equation :
$-6v = -3$

New Equation {Added Divide Both Sides by V} :
$\frac{-6v}{v} = \frac{-3}{v}$

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
$v = \frac{1}{2}$

So, this means that in the equation $\frac{-3}{v} =-6$ , $v = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Hope this helps!
