Question

Jim bought a pair of shoes for $50 and leases for a dollar if the sales tax was 7% how much tax must be paid

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of tax that must be paid, we need to multiply the purchase price of the shoes by the sales tax rate.

Sales tax = Purchase price * Tax rate
Sales tax = $50 * 7/100
Sales tax = $3.50

Therefore, Jim must pay $3.50 in tax.
