If an item costs $45 and we must pay 6% sales tax, how much will we pay for the item?

Gennadij [26K]

$47.70

$45 with 6% sales tax

6%=.06

To find total amount multiply by 1.06 or multiply by .06 and that is tax amount and then add it to the $45

$45*.06=2.70 amount of tax

$45*1.06=47.70 total amount paid
