Can someone please explain this to me I don't really get it.
I don't wanna ask for the answer so that's why I'm asking for it to be explained so I can get it :The Question:
What is the amount of sales tax owed on a $6 book if the tax rate is 5%?
A. $0.03
B. $0.30
C. $3.00
D. $0.12(My answer) Because I believe 6/5% equals... 1.2 but idk.. am I right?)
0.3 = 0.30
And yes, that's the right answer.
0.3 or 0.30?

I don't know HA HA HA AHAHAHAH... I thought you were a ghost when I didn't see it any more lol... And thank you Ms. Sue and HA HA HA AHAHAHAH... :) I'm trying to get extra work done so I don't fall behind :D
To find the amount of sales tax owed on a $6 book with a tax rate of 5%, you need to calculate 5% of $6. Here's how:
Step 1: Convert the tax rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100. In this case, 5% becomes 0.05.
Step 2: Multiply the tax rate (0.05) by the cost of the book ($6).
0.05 * $6 = $0.30
Therefore, the amount of sales tax owed on a $6 book with a tax rate of 5% is $0.30.
So the correct answer is B. $0.30
