Ava goes out to lunch. The bill, before tax and tip, was $10. A sales tax of 6% was added on. Ava tipped 24% on the amount after the sales tax was added. How much was the sales tax? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To determine the sales tax, we need to calculate 6% of the original bill amount.

The original bill amount is $10.

Sales tax calculation: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 10 \times 0.06 = 0.60 \]

Thus, the sales tax on the bill is $0.60.

Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Rounded to the nearest cent} = \boxed{0.60} \]
