Question

Hisako sells dolls at her doll store. If she sells a doll for $35, and there is 6% sales tax, what is the tax amount a customer will pay on one doll?

Answer 1

Given:

The price of a doll = $35

Sales tax = 6%

To find:

The tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll.

Solution:

The price of doll is $35 and the sales tax is 6%, so the tax amount on a doll is 6% of 35.

$\text{Tax amount}=35\times \dfrac{6}{100}$

$\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{210}{100}$

$\text{Tax amount}=\dfrac{21}{10}$

$\text{Tax amount}=2.1$

Therefore, the tax amount that a customer will pay on one doll is $2.1.
