You buy a game for $40, and the sales tax is $2. What percent of the game price are you paying in sales tax?

4%

5%

8%

20%

Sagot :

2/40 simplifies to 1/20. Multiply both top and bottom by 5 and you get 5/100. So 5%.
Any time you are solving a problem with percentages, use the formula below % = Is --- ---- 100 Of Percent over 100 = "is" over "of" In this case you are solving for percent and the "is" over "of" is $2 / $40 Then you cross multiply and divide. 100 x $2 = $200. 200 divided by 40 = 5. So the answer is 5
