what is the amount of sales tax owed on a $350 laptop computer if the tax rate is 6% off
the answer
21.00
huh?
6% off what?
If you mean that the tax is 6% of the price, then it is of course
.06 * 350
Divide?
120/0.25 = 480 --Ooops -- that doesn't look like a reasonable sales tax.
0.25/120 = 0.002 -- nope
What did Steve do above?
To calculate the amount of sales tax owed on a $350 laptop computer with a tax rate of 6%, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the tax rate to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 6% is equal to 0.06.
Step 2: Multiply the purchase price of the laptop by the tax rate in decimal form. So, $350 x 0.06 = $21.
Therefore, the amount of sales tax owed on the $350 laptop computer will be $21.
You have two numbers >> 120 and 0.25.
