43.99 times 7% in decimal form which is 0.07 then it equals 3.0793 and if you want how much it would coat then you add 3.0793 and 43.99 I hope that helped
To find a sales tax you must multiply the percent given by the cost of the item. 1) 43.99 is the cost given 2) 7% is the tax given which is 0.07 in decimal form 3) multiply them: 43.99(0.07) 4) 43.99(0.07) = 3.0793 5) the tax is $3.07 or $3.08 if you must round
*you can also round the 43.99 to 44 to make it easier unless you were told by a teacher not to round
