To calculate the sales tax of an item, you need to multiply the item's value by the tax rate. In this case, the item is worth $9.75 and the tax rate is 3%.
To find the sales tax, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the tax rate to a decimal. Since 3% is equivalent to 0.03, divide it by 100. So, 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03.
Step 2: Multiply the item's value by the tax rate. Multiply $9.75 by 0.03:
$9.75 × 0.03 = $0.2925.
Therefore, the sales tax of the item worth $9.75 with a tax rate of 3% is $0.2925.
