Question

The sales tax rate is 6%. If c represents the cost of an item and s represents the amount of sales tax, which of the following equations represents the relationship between c and s?

Answer 1

s = 0.06c

(Note 6% = 0.06)

Answer 2

Answer:

s = 0.06c

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales tax rate = 6%

The cost of an item = c

The amount of sale tax = s

The sales tax of the item = 6% of c = s

6% = $\frac{6}{100}$ = 0.06

Therefore, the equation will be that represents relationship between c and s

s = 0.06c
