Madison went shopping for a new phone. Sales tax where she lives is 8.25%. What number should she multiply the price of the phone by to find the total plus tax in one step?

The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price. To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price.

Hope this helps! :)
