Question

Mr.Chung stayed four nights at a hotel. His bill was 725$ before the sales tax of 6% was added. How much was the sales tax?

Answer 1

Okay. So the bill was a total of $725, with 6% sales tax added. To find the amount of sales tax, all you have to do is multiply the amount on the bill by the percentage of tax. 725 * 6% (0.06) is 43.5. There. The sales tax was $43.50.
