Question

The meal tax at a restaurant is 5%. What is the tax on a dinner that costs $24?

Answer 1

The tax is the money on top of the original cost of the dinner. So, we need to find 5% of 24, as that is what the tax is at the restaurant - 5% of the price.

24 x 0.05 = 1.20

The tax on a dinner that costs $24 is $1.20.

Hope this helps!! :)
