Sales tax is usually 6%*. so first you take the original price and multiply 0.06 to it. Take that answer and add it to the original price and that gives you the total price with sales tax.
*this can work with any tax percentage

Answer:

Multiply the decimal for the percent of tax by the purchase price, then add the amount of tax to the price to find the total price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax is an amount added to a price to get the total.

We multiply by the decimal for the percent; this means we divide the percent by 100 before we multiply.

Once we multiply, this gives us the amount of sales tax. We add this to the price of the item to get the total purchase price.

Explain an example of how taking an amount (for example, $20), decreasing it by 40% and then increasing that amount by 40% does

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

What we can do is try it out.

20*0.6=12

since 0.6 is left

now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4

12*1.4= 16.8

See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.
