Lucy is buying a new TV for $925. The local sales tax is 7%. How much sales tax will Lucy pay?

Answer 1

To calculate the sales tax, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Purchase Price} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} \]

In this case, the purchase price is $925 and the sales tax rate is 7%, or 0.07 in decimal form.

\[ \text{Sales Tax} = 925 \times 0.07 = 64.75 \]

Lucy will pay $64.75 in sales tax.
