The sales tax is $0.065 per dollar where Ray lives. What percent of a dollar is the sales tax?? Please help!!

Multiply by 100 or move the decimal point two places to the left.

0.065 = 6.5%

.065/1 x 100 = 6.5%

0.065

To find the percentage of a dollar that represents the sales tax, we need to divide the sales tax amount by the total dollar amount.

In this case, the sales tax is $0.065 per dollar. So to find the percentage, we divide 0.065 by 1 (since 1 dollar is the total amount we're considering).

The formula to find the percentage is: (part/whole) * 100.

Therefore, to find the percentage of the sales tax, we can calculate:

(0.065/1) * 100 = 6.5%

So, the sales tax is 6.5% of a dollar where Ray lives.
