Answered by Ms. Sue
8 1/4 cents is $.0825.

Multiply $.0825 by $8. What answer do you get?
Answered by jessica
i got 0.0825
Answered by Writeacher
0.0825 is how you express the tax percentage in the problem. Multiply that number by 8 to find out how much tax she paid.

How much do you get? It's not 0.0825!
