Question

In a city in Ohio, the sales tax rate is 7.25%. What is the sales tax amount for a blanket that costs $22.00?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.595

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax rate = 7.25%

Means 7.25/100 or 725/10,000 = 0.0725.

So 0.0725 * 22 = 1.595

So the interest on the blanket is $1.595

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sales tax=7.25%

Blanket cost=$22

Sales tax on blanket =7.25/100×22

=$1.595

Logic of 100 in 7.25/100 is that %=100
