Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.
Make sure you put the sales tax into decimal form. You do this by taking the percentage and sliding the decimal point two places to the left:
7.5% sales tax becomes .075 in decimal form
3.4% sales tax becomes .034 in decimal form
5% sales tax becomes .05 in decimal form
Example: $60 (item cost) x .075 (sales tax) = $4.5 total sales tax
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8/3=3(c+5/3)
multiply both sides by 3
8=9(c+5/3)
divide both sides by 9
8/9=c+5/3
subtract 5/3 from both sides
c=8/9-5/3
change 5/3 to 15/9
c=8/9-15/9
c=-7/9
Answer:
122.67 or round it to 123
Step-by-step explanation:
i used the butterfly method.
92/75 = x/100.
i multiplied 92*100=9200
then i divided it with 75.
9200/75=x
so the answer is
x=122 or 123
