An item has a listed price of $30. If the sales tax rate is , 6% how much is the sales tax (in dollars)?

Question

Sales tax $

Answer 1

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

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

In this case, the price is $30 and the sales tax rate is 6% (which is 0.06 in decimal form).

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Sales Tax} = 30 \times 0.06 = 1.80 \]

So, the sales tax is $1.80.
