Heather is buying a T-Shirt for $8. Sales tax is 8 1/4 cents per dollar. How much will Heather pay in sales tax on her purchase?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The easiest way to solve this problem is to change the fraction to a decimal. 8 1/4 cents = $0.0825.

Then multiply: 8 * 0.0825 = 0.66

Add: $8.00 + 0.66 = Total cost of shirt
