Mick paid $3.84 in sales tax on an item that cost $64.00 before tax. At that rate, how much would he pay in
sales tax for an item that costs $53.00 before tax? Explain STEP-BY-STEP


Sagot :

Tax rate = tax amount / item cost

Tax rate = 0.06 (6%)

Tax amount = item cost x tax rate

Tax amount = 53.00 x 0.06 = $3.18
