Question

Mr. Brooks is buying a television set for $850. The sales tax is 6%. What will be the total amount he will pay for the television set after sales tax is included?

Answer 1

The answer is 5100 because 850×6=5100 which is the same thing as 850×6%

Answer 2

Hi,

850 $ -- 6%*850 $ = 850 $ -- 6*850/100 $ = 850 $ -- 5100/100 $ = 850 $ -- 51 $ = 799 $.

Easy, huh ?
