To find a sales tax of 6% on a purchase of $90.00 using the proportion method you would write the following:
6/100 = ST/$90

The calculations in this problem would give you the following: (ST)= $540.00
Answered by Ms. Sue
100 ST = 540

Divide 540 by 100.

The answer would be $95.40 because 6/100 is .06, which equals 540/90 = 6% and you multiply that by 90. What you get is 5.4, and add that to 90, you get $95.40.

The problem just asks for the tax, not the total purchase.
