Question

Sales tax on a $400 stereo is $16. What is the tax on a $650 TV?

Answer 1

The reason being is that we need to find it out of 100. So, we divide 400 by 4 and because we did that to the denominator we have to do it to the numerator so 16 divided by 4 is well 4. So we found out that is 4/100 we just divide that by 650 and we get 26.

TL;DR it’s $26
