6a. In Whoville the sales tax is 6.5%. What is the total tax collected (tax ONLY) on a purchase of $234?

Answer 1

Answer:

$15.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax= 6.5%

Let the total tax be x

Therefore, (106.5/100 ×234) - 234 = x

=> 249.21 - 234 = x

=> x = 15.21

Therefore, total tax collected = $15.21
