The answer is out of every 5, the desired out come will be approximately 2 times.
Your answer is 3/7 because you have to go 5-5=0 and 5/7-2/7=3/7 so it is 3/7
Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
= 1 * 4 dollars
= 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
= 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and
the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.
