Question

Rose bought a new hat when she was in vacation. If the hat cost $975 and the sales tax was 6%, how much did rose pay for the hat?

Answer 1

Hi!

To solve this, set up a proportion and cross multiply.

$\frac{x}{975} \frac{6}{100}$

975 x 6 = 5850

5850/100 = 58.5

58.5 + 975 = 1033.5

The answer is $1033.5

Hope this helps! :)
