What is the sales tax on a jacket priced at $675 if the sales tax rate is 6%? The sales tax is $​

$ 37.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite this problem as: What is 6% of $625?

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore 6% can be written as 6/100.

When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".

Finally, lets call the sales tax we are looking for "t".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for t while keeping the equation balanced:

t=6100×$625

t=$3750100

t=$37.50
