What is the amount of sales tax owed on a $350 laptop computer if the tax rate is 6%
1. 2.10
2. 21.00
3. 35.00
4. 46.00

What we need to do with this problem is multiply the amount the computer costs ($350) by the tax rate (6%). To do this, we first need to convert the percentage to a decimal, so we divide the 6 given by 100, leaving us with .06. Next, we need to multiply the $350 by the .06, giving us $21 as the amount we should be paying for sales tax. So your answer should be 2) $21.00!
