Question

If the subtotal (the cost of all the items bought) is $110.00, what is the sales tax if the rate is 8.25%?$8.25$9.08 $9.09 $8.95

Answer 1

Total cost = $110.00

Sales tax percentage = 8.25%

Sales tax = 8.25% of Total cost

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Sales tax = }\frac{8.25}{100}\text{ x \ 110} \\ \text{Sales tax = }\frac{907.5}{100} \\ \\ \text{Sales tax = \ 9.075 }\approx\approx\text{ \ 9.08 ( 2 decimal places)} \end{gathered}$

The answer is $9.08
