Ronald bought a new computer for $550.74, and the sales tax was 6.5%. How much sales tax did Ronald pay on the computer?
A.
$35.80
B.
$41.31
C.
$37.17

A; 35.80

Step-by-step tutorial: In order to find the sales tax of a product you must first turn the percentage as a decimal> 6.5% would be .065 in decimal form because the 6 is in the hundredths place just like 6/100 and 5 would be in the thousandths place just like---> 5/1000 thus the decimal would be .065

I then multiplied the 550.74 by .065 because we are trying to find how much money would the sales tax be.

I then resulted with 35.7981 which we would have to round to the tenths because you cannot have coins in the thousands or ten thousandths place.

Therefore, I resulted with 35.80 as the answer.
