Question

What is 66% of $1,678.89 plus 7.5% tax?

Answer 1

50% of 1,678.89 = 839.445
10% = 167.889
5% = 83.9445
1% = 16.7889
.5% = 8.39445
Therefore 66% = 1108.0674
and 7.5% = 125.91675
So the two added together is: 1233.98415
To get the percentages simply do the following
50% = divide by two
10% = divide 50% by five OR divide the original number by 10
5% = divide 10% by two or divide 50% by 10
1% = divide 5% by 5 or divide original by 100
.5% = divide 1% by two
