A. $0.09

B. $0.94

C. $94.40

D. $103.84

Answer 1

Birmingham and Montgomery both have a state sales tax rate of 4 percent and a local tax rate of 6 percent – although the report notes that part of Birmingham lies in Shelby County, meaning the combined rate is only 9 percent in some parts of the city.

Answer 2

If the tax is 10%, divide the total by 10%. Since he paid $9.44, $9.44*10 = $94.40
