Pennsylvania has a sales tax of 6%. The city of Philadelphia adds an extra local sales tax of 2%. Both taxes apply to the original price of an item. If the shelf price of a bottle of sports drink is $2 in Philadelphia, PA, which expressions can be used to show the total taxes you would expect to pay?

For the regular tax in Pennsylvania, it would be 12 cents or $0.12. For Philadelphia, it would be 4 cents or $0.04. I got these two amounts by multiplying 2 times 6 or 2 percent, aka 0.06 and 0.02. If you added the two together, you would get, $0.16 or 16 cents. You would then add that to the two dollars and end up with $2.16 or two dollars and sixteen cents. I hope this helps.
