Uppose the sales tax rate in a certain state is 8% of the purchase price. if a new food processor sells for $750, how much is the sales tax?

To determine tax, I like to use this method...

1. Make the percent into a decimal

    For exmaple, the pretty high tax of 8% would be 0.08, since you need to move the decimal two places to the left regardless.

2. Multiply

   For this word problem, multiply 0.08 and 750, or in other words, multiply the original price by the percent/decimal. 0.08×750=60

3. Subtract the tax from the original price if needed!

This example only wants the tax, so this step if not needed, but if it were, subtract 60 from 750 to get a total price of $690.

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^

also you might actually want to put this picture up if you want people to solve it luckily i remember this question
