in a motel the room tax is $4.50 and the room rate is $75. write the tax asa percent of the room
I've showed you how to do a couple of these problems. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
4.50(75)
And what, Taylor, would that be?
Just a hint, the percent for a tax / room rate is less than 100....so your answer is inaccurate.
so is it 4.50/75
That's a step in the right direction. Now multiply your answer by 100.
ok i get it i have another one and i will give the answer and can you check and see if it is right
To write the tax as a percentage of the room rate, you need to find the ratio of the tax to the room rate.
First, divide the tax amount ($4.50) by the room rate ($75):
$4.50 / $75 = 0.06
Next, convert this decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.06 * 100 = 6
Therefore, the tax of $4.50 is 6% of the room rate ($75).
