Question

After sales tax, an $81 cell phone costs $84.24. What is the sales tax percentage?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4% sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original costs and subtract it from the price after sales tax.

$84.24-$81= $3.24

Divide 3.24 by 81

this gives you .04, now either multiply by 100 or move the decimal two places to the right to convert the decimal to a percentage.
