In this case, lets say the state tax is 7%. Shen you buy something, lets say some shoes. For example lets say the price is 60.99 With the 7% tax, move the decimal point two times to the left: 7 -> .07 Multiply .07 by the total price
60.99 * .07 = 4.27 Then add this amount to the total price 60.99 + 4.27 = 65.26 This is how you tax
