Question

A store charges 6% tax. Joe purchased $20s worth of items. How much tax was Joe charged?

Answer 1

21.20 would be the total with tax

the taxes would equal $1.20

Honestly to explain it I put it into a calculator.. sorry :)

I put in 6% of 20 then add it to the $20

Answer 2

The answer is $21.20
you do 20•6% (that will give you the tax) and that equals 1.2
then add 20+1.2 (then this is how much plus tax) and that equals 21.2
